Posner Fine Art and Art Showroom Nyfadopoulos present "Art about the Here and Now", an exhibition exploring themes of vulnerability, resilience, and healing. Working across engraving, painting, photography, poetry, and sculpture, participating artists engage with the social, political, and environmental realities of our time through deeply personal and socially grounded approaches shaped by their cultural and lived experiences.
The exhibition is inspired by Anastasios Nyfadopoulos’s public artwork Crisis, a landmark of contemporary art and a powerful symbol of human resilience and social conscience. Over the years, the sculpture Crisis has drawn international attention, with coverage in major media outlets including the Associated Press, The New York Times, The Guardian, Público, and Xinhua. To celebrate the sculpture’s tenth anniversary, Nyfadopoulos and art consultant Dimitra Fotopoulou launched an international open call. Emphasizing inclusivity, all submissions were reviewed free of charge and considered solely on the basis of artistic merit.
The resulting selection of works presents a cross-section of emerging and established artists from Austria, Canada, the Cayman Islands, England, Greece, Italy, and the United States. This geographic breadth brings together distinct cultural vantage points, deepening the exhibition’s exploration of shared global challenges as they are lived and articulated locally.
Currently on view at Art Showroom Nyfadopoulos in Maroussi, Greece, and available online through Artsy, "Art about the Here and Now" carries forward the critical and human concerns initiated by Crisis, inviting collectors to live with works that balance vulnerability and resilience and sustain their relevance beyond the moment of their making. |
