The image displays a document, likely a page from an exhibition catalog or art book, featuring text in both Greek and English. The page is divided into three main sections, each dedicated to a different artist, with Greek descriptions on the left column and English translations on the right. The first section is about **Cris Gianakos**, detailing his artwork "Omega" (2011), made of steel. The text describes it as a stealth-like object resembling a predator or cold war-era plane, emitting a mysterious aura with elegant, planar forms that are both peaceful and benign. Gianakos is identified as a Greek-American sculptor, influenced by architecture, ancient sites, constructivism, and the Bauhaus. His work, including "Rampworks" and large-scale site-specific installations, spans various media and has been exhibited globally. The second section focuses on **Alex Mylona**, with her artwork "Kourous" (1997) made of marble. Claudette Labrosse's text reflects on Mylona's work as a complete, autonomous piece, exploring themes of cycles, sensuous plasticity, and geometric spirituality. Mylona (1920-2016) was an Athenian sculptor who studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts, participated in international exhibitions like the 30th Venice Biennale, and had works shown at the Salon de la Jeune Sculpture in Paris and various other biennials. A retrospective of her work was presented by the National Gallery Alexandros Soutsos in 1996, and the Museum & Alex Mylona continues to present her art. The third section is for **Mark Hadjipateras**, featuring his artwork "Sham" (2017), crafted from cast aluminum. The accompanying text discusses "Sham" as a critique of the Western world's supposed protection of democracy, freedom, and human rights, particularly in relation to the Syrian conflict. The artwork is inspired by a mother holding her child, juxtaposed with the Parthenon, symbolizing freedom, and highlighting the ongoing human tragedy in Syria. Hadjipateras, born in London, studied art in the UK, worked in New York, and his art spans painting, sculpture, and public installations across Europe and the US, including significant public commissions.
