Stratos Kalafatis, a photographer who captures the unseen nuances and inklings that camouflage themselves in plain view, added one more feather in his impressive cap of international distinctions. The 54-year-old acclaimed photographer took part in the group exhibition “Six Greek Artists”, hosted at the Bernier-Eliades gallery, in Brussels, and aiming to highlight the dynamism and the unexplored pathways of contemporary Greek art landscape. The exhibition, which kicked off on May 26th and will have its curtain call on July 18th, hosts the works of six Greek artists, coming from the fields of photography, visual art and sculpture.

Kalafatis’ three photographs narrate three stories, which unfold in elliptical and fragmentary mode, becoming loquacious through silence and screaming out a hint of presence amidst lurid absence. These three photographs, seen as a solid body of work, emanate a sense of stepwise course. Their jumping off point is a definite and crushing calamity that evolves into a tangible tension, heading towards a feeling of reassuring safety that expands to infinity. A triptych of decomposition, creation and indulgence, a two-way never-ending route, open to endless variations but hermetically sealed as to its fundamental structure. Before winding up, let’s not forger to mention that Dionysis Kavallieratos, Ninos Navridis, Rallou Panagiotou, Kostas Sahpazis and Christiana Soulou are the five Greek artists whose works are also showcased within the framework of the “Six Greek Artists” exhibition.
