CORFU. Having worked for several years in Sweden and Britain, the artist Ellen Hausner chose Corfu for her first exhibition in Greece.
The Attic Gallery is hosting this retrospective exhibition, which traces several years of evolution of Ellen’s multifaceted work. The title of the exhibition "Through Restless Seas" was inspired by Homer.
Ellen Hausner conceives of her artworks as explorations of the ephemeral and the unseen. The constant sense of the sacred permeates her work, which explores the themes of transformation, transmutation, and evolution. She allows subconscious and deeply hidden elements of the psyche to come to light through the suggestion of the paint. Her work reveals that which is concealed within, and her aim is to create work that appeals directly to the senses and the psyche.
She says of her art: “I conceive my paintings, drawings, and prints as explorations of the ephemeral and the unseen, whether the subject is a psychological state, a microscopic particle, an abstract concept, or a moment in prehistory. Creating images of that which does not have an image is what binds all of my work together. Through my work, I have tried to grasp and express the meaning of the actual spark which enables life to occur.

Opening: Saturday 8 June, 8pm
Artist's Talk: Saturday 15 June, 8pm
Duration: until 18June.
