“Our Town” welcomes painter and art professor Io Angeli. The guest discusses her solo exhibition “Smoke on the Water,” whose works form a personal ecosystem in which humans and the natural world coexist in an endless cycle of transformation, decay, and regeneration.
In conversation with Themis Rodamitis, she reflects on her artistic journey and how she explores the fluidity of space through multiple perspectives. In her paintings, the boundaries between public and private spaces dissolve, while human figures seem at ease with this ambiguity.
Figures and ephemeral gardens, both on land and underwater, shape her artistic vision as different facets of lived experience. Io Angeli also discusses painting as a space for values and narratives, where abstraction meets representation.
