Dimitri Xenakis and Maro Avrabou

Entitled Pittoresque, the work created for the park by Dimitri Xenakis and Maro Avrabou relies on the very definition of this word which appeared in Italy in 1708: Pittoresco derived from Pittore, the Painter. A series of framed paintings will show the Castle through out-of-scale pictures of flowers. This installation, unusual at first glance, is mainly a tribute to the site and to the loving relations maintained by painting, the park and nature.

Dimitri XENAKIS and Maro AVRABOU

 

 

Born in Athens in 1960, Maro Avrabou is a plastic artist and light designer. She works in the visual arts field and in theatre, dance and opera.

 

Born in Levallois-Perret in 1964, the plastic artist Dimitri Xenakis works in and with the landscape, constantly renewing his artistic language to communicate with the environment.

 

Both are working on jointly-signed works that question areas of life, points of view, shapes and light. They are working on all projects to do with the natural and urban landscape, endeavouring to create a link between what exists and artistic intervention.
