Edouard Sacaillan

As from Wednesday 10 June at 8:00pm, Gallery Morfi in Limassol presents the latest work of Edouard Sacaillan.

Edouard Sacaillan is one of the most important representatives of contemporary Greek fine art.

Born in Thessaloniki, Greece in 1957, he studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA) under professors Mytaras and Moralis. He continued his studies through a scholarship at École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA) in Paris, under professor Leonardo Cremonini.

Since the beginning of his career, Sacaillan has had a very personal instinct and own style. Each of his representations takes a different direction expressing emotions and aesthetics of the everyday life and issues that concern every modern person.

The artist states that he is a person who cannot stand modern reality, which he considers traumatic, because it is frightening. To endure or to usurp or to change or to apprehend, he paints. The various persons in his paintings are depressed, without them knowing nor realising it, and having the same depression and sorrow as the artist. He paints them not because they like it but because they are witnesses of a hostile environment without them knowing that they are the victims.

The exhibition shall remain open until the 30th of June.
