The Lost Abstractions of Atlantis
Nectarios Livisianos
Upstairs | Opens on Sep 10 until Sep 25 | Fri, Sat & Sun
The series is both an obligatory reverence to the forefathers of my heritage and their abounding inheritance and a formation of art in which I began painting the imaginary skies of Atlantis from a sunken perspective.

The inhabitants of Atlantis as described by Plato in the Republic were a moral, spiritual people who lived in a highly advanced, utopian society. Qualities we agonise in these times to mirror.
This series is part of a sustainable art initiative. The canvases were sourced from an individual who willingly surrendered their mother's painted artworks for me to upcycle, preventing the canvases from inevitably ending up in landfill.

1. "Fields, Above" Oil on Canvas, 112cm x 137cm promises a sense of belonging, a drawing on the longing and the manifestation of a belated homecoming.
2. "Metacommunity" Oil on Canvas 137cm x 137cm is symbolic of the depth Ancient Greece and its schools of thought propound. Layers of history arouse the interests and longings of scholars and the abecedarian believers.
3. "Beyond the Concentric Walls" fills an undiluted, unadulterated, unhinged curiosity of the whereabouts and discourses of a utopian wilfulness dwelling deep in the reliquaries of our thirst to learn.
