Dio Horia is pleased to announce Chris Akordalitis’ solo presentation for Taipei Dangdai, 2023; ‘A Garden of Earthly Delights’, a selection of works inspired by Tao Qian's utopian vision that draws its main inspiration from the idea of a garden as home.

 

In a large-scale oil-painting series made out of pure love, a brown tree trunk connects all paintings with effortless flow. The compositions feature a series of architecture elements that give the feeling of a temple ­– a rather holy place, that holds great significance and special meaning. In essence, this stands as a symbol of ‘home’, i.e. a safe place for everyone involved, where exotic birds fly freely around and the artist’s Elves, an evolved human species, living in a more simple, aware and relaxed manner, come together to celebrate life, in a gender-free, quite uninhibited community that readily accepts all body shapes and forms.
