Jill
Yakas has
been dealing in art for the past thirty years. During this time
she has created a unique gallery with which many good artists
are associated.
The
gallery represents mainly foreign artists who are drawn to this
corner of the Mediterranean for varied reasons - the dazzling
white filter of Greek light, the landscape, the ruins of classical
Greece, Greek traditions, travelling scholarships to paint, even
romantic attachments. All touched or inspired by this country
they continue in the tradition of the travelling nineteenth-century
Romantics who rediscovered Greece.
The
gallery, hidden away in an Anglo-Hellenic country garden, is relaxed
and welcoming. Openings often spill over into the garden creating
an ambience where ideas are exchanged, like minds meet and friendships
are often made.
If you have seen work you like on this website, would like to
see the original and are in Athens, please telephone for an appointment,
or click on Exhibitions for exhibition dates.
Jill Yakas also publishes
Fine art Greeting and Christmas Cards, many images taken from
works exhibited in the gallery. |
