Hellenic Museum | Melbourne, VI
In the Hellenic Museum's newest exhibition acclaimed international printmaker Marco Luccio is both the creator and destroyer of his divine subject: Aphrodite Greek goddess of love and desire.
Inspired by a cast statue on display at Melbourne's Hellenic Museum the artist has etched the goddess onto a single copper plate using his signature Drypoint technique before carrying her through a series of bold transformations.
The result is a series of unique and irreplicable yet ultimately connected works which explore themes of love impermanence and the power of human connection.
Now showing in the Hellenic Museum Contemporary Art Space 10AM–4PM daily until Sunday 27 October 2024. Entry included with museum general admission.
