2013_VLAVES Para/lysis
“Ἔros lysimelis... a fluffy poison"
The work "Eros lysimelis... a fluffy poison" by Cynthia Gerothanasiou, with its gossamer texture, as a symbol of femininity, virginal hymen, bridal gown, feminine veil or elusive aeroscope like the female heart in love,
is illuminated inwardly, with a blurred and blooming light, as the wounded, enamoured soul whispers words of desire of par/solution-delivery/ surrender
As Spider, Penelope, Moon... the female "suffering" nature bows her head ready for the "sacrifice" (brilliantly given
in red), while introspecting, as the rustling veil/soul hums "...all of me, not take all of me..."
11 contemporary artists trace the concept of para/lysis. As mediators they reexamine the social and psychological climate of the time, attempting to bring the visible to the surface and visualize the indiscernible.
ΜETApolis, Athens.
Decay, sensitivity, paralyzing cupidity... words that capture the feeling of the work as they reveal
that dark and hidden place of the soul where Imerus nests, and where the "sweet and bitter amaharon horde slowly drips the poison that the loving soul craves.
....Cynthia Gerothanasiou in the work she presents essentially deals with the theme of the allegory of Love and Soul, reapproaching it in a way that is both original and absolutely precise in its meaning. Honest with her expressive means, consistent in terms of revealing the "inside", she does not hesitate to "post", with a pleasantly
lyrical movement, the mournful veils of love, revealing to the viewer's eyes a perfect modern allegory.
