"The World Awaits You As A Garden " Kalos & Klio Athens, GR Kalfayan Galleries, January 15 - 28 February 2026

This is a new solo exhibition, the 3rd with Kalfayan Galleries, but the first I've ever seen and touched up close. As someone who has been interested and has seen some of this work before - with its allure of masterful handwoven tapestries layered with global iconography and political discourse - I didn't expect to be so moved at this new exhibition.

While there is no denying there are more pieces together - magnificently crafted of course - yet it wasn't the awe of the prolific quantity and scale but more the context of seeing this narrative so clearly at this particular moment in our collective experience around the world.

This exhibition continues to build on the artist(s) previous work on woven tapestries entitled,
“ Weaves of Democracy, 2020” adds with perhaps more urgency to a crescendo piece suggesting
“ Rise Up “. This is almost covert - blended text added to the 3d printed sculpture, see if you can find it. It's a piece at first reminiscent of a rooster which is referenced in the tapestry just beyond but this speaks more in a language of an artillery- like form not a tactile delight. Where I'm not usually a fan of blatant art messaging this piece is an exception.

The works are not subtle - well other than there's a trickery in the forms not unlike elegant tapestries- maybe just a bit brighter in modern colorways to draw you in but that immediate connection fades once you enter the gallery and look a bit closer. The narrative is intentional and full of current realities as we look at the tapestries we see the warnings - democracy is fighting to exist while wars continues to destroy, civil liberties are evaporating with our submission and they clearly say "run", but perhaps the added sculpture is the better take away, "rise up".

If you are not in Athens, Kalfayan Galleries shows globally via the art fairs. Look for Kalos & Klio and Check out Kalos and Klio website for more on this collection. Find essay by Dora Vasilakou, curator on the gallery website.

2025 Year in Review of Happenings/ events/ ideas/ works that were incredible moments not to be forgotten: Pandora the incredibly unexpected production at the National Theater of Greece .n.theatre by the uber talented director inclusive of the performers and with a production team's minimal set yet transcending effect...the audience easily transported to another world..at least i did to this world of myth - and what myth ? Perhaps one of the most misogynistic of tales- yet with intent to take us past this aspect to one that offers hope for our fragile humanity. 👏

I noticed the catalog of Peggy Kliafa "Healing The Grid" at Zoumboulakis Galleries Booth R1 Art Athena and was happy to have had the chance to visit the gallery and speak with the artist just a few days before. It's a heady show with lots of formalism particularly with the inextricable appeal of organized grids. Beyond the meticulously constructed objects, and the homage to a minimal familiar aesthetic there's the messy conundrum of dealing with its source material - that is aside of illumination- all the work is made with pharmaceutical pill units.

In paraphrasing from the catalog of the exhibition, Dr. Sozita Goudouna writes about Kliafa's work, "..to the clinical precision of pharmaceutical packaging, the grid imposes an illusion of order upon the chaos of life. Yet, beneath its rational veneer lies a paradox --it both sustains and suffocated, heals, and controls."
