The piece is made in the context of the exhibition ‘Hic Rhodus’ curated by Apostolis Artinos for Space52 in Athens (GR). Twelve contemporary artists were asked to draw inspiration from Icaro ceramics. The Icaro company in Rhodes made products for the flourishing postwar tourism industry. Though mass-produced, the objects were painted by hand with great skill, decorated mainly with plant and floral motifs inspired by ceramics from nearby Iznik (TR).
