TRACE of Lefkara 2012
Trace of Lefkara Art exhibition The group exhibition "trace of lefkara" collects works by the three artists are Elena Yliuchick (painter and photographer), Elina Antoniou (graphic designer) and Maria Mina (Ceramist). These three Artists have used graphic motifs present in the processing of textile decoration and silver that are characteristic to the village of Lefkara in Cyprus, the so-called Lefkaritika style. We use these signs as a pretext to stimulate imaginative creative applications to artistic techniques not just traditional way, except ceramics, which most approaches an artisans that relates and familiar with certain decorative motifs. In the intent or the work of Elena, who is the most extraneous to familiarization of style Lefkaridika as Belarus's foreign, apply this decoration in Body Painting directly onto the human body skin using like canvas, the results are then photographed and printed on photographic paper. As to Elina and Maria are the first, using the graphics and the second through modeling and decoration of the Terracotta. The harmony between creativity and expression emphasized by a solid technical expertise makes this show a compelling reason of reworking and revitalizing, if you want, a traditional style that has made strong for centuries artisans of Lefkara.
