The Art Historian and Curator of the exhibition, Nikolena Kalaitzaki, among others, notes:
"#LOVE is made of ORG @ SM" • This is a very careful group art exhibition in which Painting, Sculpture and Photography meet the passionate heart of Erotic Poetry, with the artists drawing their inspiration through the lyrics of their favorite love poems. Through this magical creative connection, the viewer sees in front of him fragments of the fiery lovers of E.E. Cummings (poem: "Well, let's kiss") or the other ones of Brecht whose love never found a common place, no matter if their bodies, carnal, in the same bed, lived ("Erotic song from a bad time") (?). Love breathes voluptuously passionate, imprinted raw, on peeled layers in the "Erotica" of Josh Mansour, but also in those of Bukowski - really you have never kissed your wife - panther -? Hymns of love, melancholyly sweet as death, he dances a "Viennese waltz" to the rhythms of Lorca and meets Rilke's "Third Duo Elegy" and Louis Aragon. "He often came back and took it at night, when his lips and skin remember ..." the deep soul of Konstantinos Cavafy carves with the pen on paper and next to him stand, among others, Giannis Ritsos with his "Flesh speech" "Andreas Empirikos, Giannis Varveris, Dimitris Liantinis with" Gemma ", Titos Patrikios, but also the late, recently included in the eternal poetic pantheon, Katerina Angelaki - Rook".
