The Logos / Λογότυπα exhibition featuring 40 Greek Australian artists officially opened on Friday, September 20 at the Hazelhurst Arts Centre in Gymea, Sydney.
The exhibition is curated by Kon Gouriotis OAM and is presented in collaboration with Saint Stylianos Greek Orthodox Parish, Gymea. It will run until November 17 and explores Greek culture and identity in Australian art.
Crossing six decades from the 1960s to the 2020s, the exhibition embraces Hellenism and the idea of permanency as an illusion in Australian art and culture.
For many of the exhibiting artists, Logos / Λογότυπα is the first time their works will be positioned in a Greek context.
Many of the artists were present at the launch night on Friday along with their family and friends. Official proceedings included speeches by parish priest at Saint Stylianos Gymea, Father Constantine Varipatis, curator Mr Gouriotis, and a representative from the Hazelhurst Arts Centre. Member for Miranda, Eleni Petinos MP was also present.
Live music by Perry Tsepetzis on the bouzouki and Peter Kokkinis on the guitar provided a festive atmosphere.
The Logos / Λογότυπα exhibition will be on display at the Hazelhurst Arts Centre in Gymea until November 17. The participating artists are:
