Marianna Ignataki: The Enlightened Ones, The Green Horses and Some More Bitches
Case Studio #2, MOMus – Museum of Contemporary Art, Thessaloniki
Opening:
Thursday 5 June 2025, 20:00
June 5, 2025 - September 14, 2025
In a world where hostility is increasing towards any person who dares to question the boundaries and borders of bodies and earth, in a society where the concept of gender includes all the anxieties, neuroses and concerns of modern man, the... creatures of the artist Marianna Ignataki compose a utopia, a place of alternative communities, where we all fit in and can be free. Her solo exhibition entitled "The Enlightened Ones, the Green Horses and Some More Bitches", which will be presented at the MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki from 5 June to 14 September 2025, is the second production in the museum's Case Studio space, which is dedicated to the here-and-now of contemporary art and seeks to offer visibility to young and established artists and to bring the museum even closer to contemporary artistic creation.
Using watercolor, drawing, painting and sculptural installations, Marianna Ignataki creates characters outside of boundaries, frames and identities, in a surrealistic universe. Her work ranges from minimalist scenes and portraits to exaggerated, kitschy, rococo inspired compositions. The influences of her personal journey in Greece, China and Germany and the borrowing of anthropological elements from all three of these cultures are evident in all of her visual depictions, emphasizing that horror, fear and "monsters" are the same everywhere and unite us all everywhere.
