Greece is a land of dreams with stunning views, mesmerizing beaches, and sublime architecture. It was an inspirational dream for artist David Syre, too. During a recent trip through the islands of Greece, Syre documented his experiences through his art with his prolific and perceptive drawing practices.
Drawings From Greece is an exhibition of David Syre’s drawings made during this recent trip to Greece. Syre’s drawings consistently show “what he sees.” They are a visual journal of Syre’s travels and take the viewer along on the journey. The artworks showcase the typical Greek Cycladic architecture: arches and vaults, blue domes, crossed spires in a stunning setting of Olympian high cliffs. Iconic windmills and local flora and fauna play a role as visual influences, as well. In this collection of drawings Syre uses new materials and, for the first time, consistently works not on black, but on white paper!
