George Tzannes
Ancient Wall with Stone-filled Window

1997

About the Item

George Tzannes is an American painter of Greek origins. In his twenties he visited Kythera, the Greek island of his father's birth. Since that time, Greece and the island of Kythera has become the major reference of his creativity. The focus of this artwork is a subject very dear to Tzannes: the timeless, spiritual quality of the Kytherian landscape, where nature and ancient monument's ruins mix in an endless circle of life. The beautiful stone-filled window, so up-close and almost tangible, is invested of an iconic and monumental stature that transcend the subject. Stems of grass pierce through into the canvas, reminding the viewer that life and nature are all around. The gentle blue light pervading everything creates the sensation of fresh air all around. The visual experience slowly becomes almost physical as if the viewer could step into the painting, touch the wall and become part of history by doing so.
