The exhibition brings together works inspired by
Homer’s epic, revisited through the artist’s distinctive visual language. The
series unfolds as a painterly voyage through the Odyssey, based on a parallel
imaginary geography conceived by the artist.
First presented in 2025 at the Ghika Gallery of the
Benaki Museum in Athens, the series includes paintings, artist’s books, and
map-based works tracing the journeys of Odysseus and Telemachus.
At its centre is a four-volume artist’s book created
on a digital reproduction of Harley MS 6325 -a 15th-century manuscript of
Homer’s Odyssey from the collection of the British Library- painted with
charcoal and acrylic.
Markos Kampanis (b. 1955, Athens) studied painting in
London. Working across painting, printmaking, illustration, and mural art, he
has exhibited widely in Greece and internationally.
A retrospective of his work was presented in 2023 at
the National Library of Greece, Athens. His Odyssey series was presented at the
Ghika Gallery, Benaki Museum (2025).
