Artist Statement:
Ioanna Kazaki was born in
Salonika Greece.She has
studied painting and printing
at the Romes(Italy) School of
Fine Arts. In the «Findings
from Planet Earth»,occurs a
game with the
concepts«past-future».The
title refers us to the
future.The works refers us to
the past, when man used to
record events in the sense of
depicting life(painter)in a
language comprehensible by
all,the language of images.The
whole work has emerged from a
long-lived review of history,
from an attempt to decodify
Mythology,searching therein
hidden secrets about the
origins of universe and
man.This ends in an anew
symbolical and codified
language:A language of images.
but this is also the result of
a personal and immediate need
to record the«dark»history of
man.
In this pictorial
«alphabet»,symbols or links
like:Dinosaurs(prehistoric
era),cloc(time trasmission),an
eye looking at viewers or
urging them to watch
faces-viewers,people
escaping,foot-prints,viewers
who previously stood by at an
event...All these lead us to
«confront»more complex
images,many of whom unclude
tragic moments :Stains in the
history of mankind like human
sacrifices,canibalism,genocides
and animal sacrifices....
