Heading 2
Phoenix Athens proudly presents Anemoi, a solo exhibition featuring American artist Ian Hagarty.
The exhibition draws inspiration from the the Greek gods who personified the directional winds: Boreas (north wind, cold), Notus (south wind, storms), Eurus (east wind, unpredictability), and Zephyrus (west wind, renewal and growth), and their distinct traits. These mythological figures provide a symbolic framework and connection to Greece for Hagarty and an exploration of the invisible yet powerful forces that move through and shape the very fabric of reality of the world.
A professor of painting at Marshall University, Ian Hagarty’s artwork has been exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe in both public and private institutions, and international art fairs. In addition to his role as professor at Marshall, Hagarty, also serves as Program Director for the Kentucky Institute for International Study (KIIS) Italy Winter study abroad program.
ABOUT PHOENIX ATHENS
Founded by artist Dimitri Yin in 2018, Phoenix Athens Gallery and Residency continues to demonstrate that an artist-run space can contribute to the growth of artists and the Athenian community.
With its residency program, workshop facility and gallery programme, Phoenix Athens offers artists and creatives from all backgrounds and nationalities with the time, space and facilities that are vitally needed for professional and creative growth. The project draws on the progressive culture of contemporary Athens and its legacy of resourcefulness, resilience and courage. The residency program encourages technical and theoretical development, and personal growth.
Phoenix Athens focuses on inclusion, social justice and ecology while encouraging professionalisation, experimentation and research through public workshops, performances and events. Project proposals and collaborations are welcome.
