Sunday, March the 15th, 2015 - Myrό Gallery (8, Nikiforos Fokas Street, Thessaloniki center, Greece) has the honour to invite you to attend the opening of the solo exhibition pf the Romanian painter Mihaela Bako, under the title "Dark-ILLUMINATED", which will take place in the Project Room on Thursday, 2nd of April at 20:00, in the presence of the painter. The renowned Greek-Romanian engraver Kristiana Iliopoulou - Hopirtean is curating the exhibition.
"The “Dark-ILLUMINATED” exhibition is presenting my last series of paintings. My work is based on creating new, colorful multiple spaces, using a personal mixed media technique: acrylic colors and ink, with small printed and graphical details. The aesthetic result is provoked by the endless games of the colors pouring freely on the paper, keeping the intensity of their explosion frozen in time. From this process controlled until one point, shapes and transparencies are occurring, organized in space with the help of geometrical basic shapes - circles and squares. The dark colors and the black are helping the bright ones to express all their beauty inside the white background. The abstract morphological elements are existing in a balanced dialog, creating subtle images of possible alternative realities. Horizontal and vertical passages, landscapes and new microcosms are emerging, calling the viewer to decipher and to explore the multiple visual possibilities of the image", declared the painter in a brief statement accompanying her works.
