Teloglion Fine Arts Foundation

The exhibition "When the Light Dances, I Speak Fairly - George Seferis and his Poetry through Painting and Photography" illustrates the distinguished Greek poet's talent and highlights the impact of his writing on visual artists - including both his peers and younger generations.

As part of its ongoing exhibition of drawings, maps and watercolors executed by amateur artist soldiers of the Allied Army of the Orient posted to Thessaloniki during the Great War (1914-18), the Teloglion Foundation will also screen related footage from the film archives of the French Ministry of Defense on Wednesday, January 16.

"The Armee d'Orient Paints Thessaloniki" comprises 400 drawings, maps and watercolors executed by amateur artist soldiers of the Allied Army of the Orient that reveal interesting facets of the northern port city during the Great War (1915-1918).

The northern port city's Teloglion Fine Arts Foundation presents works by Sotiris Sorogas in a show that juxtaposes painting with poetry, imagery and literature. The acclaimed artist's works interact with poems by the likes of Odysseas Elytis, Giorgos Seferis and Kiki Dimoula, prompting an artistic dialogue on subjects such as light, eternity and loneliness.
