Employing a broad thematic field, he makes use of a figurative manner for works that are commissioned and a non-figurative or a completely abstract form of expression for his own free compositions, taking advantage of the possibilities of the various materials."Harlequin" is an abstract composition, but at the same time retains certain characteristic elements from the traditional manner of depicting the figure of the jester. Thus, the human figure is rendered in a suggestive way, while the whole is based on dynamic curved volumes and angular geometric shapes which penetrate space, creating a composition which imposes itself, while at the same time it converses with the empty spaces which are created by the distribution of the volumes.  aSculpture  aBronze 1aKalakallas Giorgosf(1938 - 2021)uhttps://www.nationalgallery.gr/en/artist/kalakallas-giorgos/  a58  uhttps://www.nationalgallery.gr/en/artwork/harlequin/  ahttps://www.nationalgallery.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/65149_2000_2000-500x740.jpg  aΠ.7014  aPAINTING
