Catalogue Note
"At the moment, I am concerned with an image that will expand and excite the eye, even seduce it. I want the painting to be sensuous, living on its own, devoid of biography...
Instead through nature, this is my discovery: happiness, even joy, at finding something which I want to look at… So, it is the eye and the paint - paint on canvas - with which I am involved, allowing the paint to have a chance and achieving a harmony between the two" (Theodoros Stamos, statement in It Is, Winter - Spring 1959)
