In Between

Adamakos
CITRONNE Gallery - Poros presents Yiannis Adamakos’s solo exhibition "In Between". One of the most distinguished figures in abstract Greek painting, Yiannis Adamakos creates indeterminate landscapes—reflections of a sensory world refracted through memory. He is deeply engaged in exploring the boundaries between explosion and calmness, light and darkness, spontaneity and order. He is particularly concerned with the rendering of emptiness, as a space imbued with richness of meaning and sensation.
"In Between" exhibition presents a new series of paintings and collages. These works are structured around vertical and horizontal axes that form an imagined grid. Adamakos is interested in the expressive geometrisation of space, which radiates a sense of inner balance—between the calm of the horizontal and the uplift of the vertical. Additionally, his paper compositions take the form of idiosyncratic collages that involve the act of destruction and emphasise the power of gesture.
