 “Kefalonia – The Join”

 Painting Exhibition  at the Ionion Center for the Arts and Culture

Opening date  Αugust 25     20.30   to September 4,   2013 

Series of paintings  inspired and created  in Kefalonia .

landscapes of the island where human presence is only  slightly apparent through  human constructions (roads, boats, wells, etc.) .

The artist seeks to isolate the experience that one may get when staring at natural scenery of Kefalonia . Although Kefalonia is an island where water as an element prevails, these works are not only oriented to the seascapes. They also intend to express the statement of unity between water and land, human existence and nature and to indicate the feelings of completion, harmony and mystery as well as the metaphysical energy that arises from Kefalonian land as a whole.

Pat Swain   Photographer .

Pat Swain leans towards the quirk and tribulations.

She is also an award-winning photographer whose work has been shown extensively around the world. Among the many publications her photographs and digital art have appeared in are Leonardo (MIT Press), the New York Times, Digital Fine Art, Spin Magazine, New York Magazine,.  She holds a B.A. from Mount Holyoke College, an M.F.A. from Pratt Institute, and an M.A. from Columbia University.  She has taught digital imaging at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. She lives and teaches in New York City.

Pat Swain’s photography, as of late, involves a quirky pathos of the portrayal of animals in created situations where environment plays an integral role.  Another aspect of her work is the subject of ruins which is a visual reminder of our finitude despite our struggle to be eternally remembered
