PROVING SOCRATES WAS WRONG, 2020 by Anna Lytridou

Anna Lytridou

“Proving Socrates was wrong” comprises a wall piece and a metal construction with two paintings and un-stretched linen fabric.The title refers to a quote from the Greek philosopher Socrates which states that "Trees and open country won't teach me anything, but men in the city do.” This is something which I disagree with, my work primarily uses elements from so called traditional landscapes but in a way that alters the urban spaces they are generally exhibited in.

The paintings combine outlines and shapes that usually we find in nature such as rivers, lakes, mountains, waterfall and rocks. All the elements are based on photographs that have been taken during my long walks in places around Lake District.

This work was created during the Radical Resident Residency at Unit 1 Gallery Workshop and exhibited at the gallery in November 2019.

Nikkita Morgan

Thanks to the a-n bursary, time, space and money, i have been able to spend time researching creative ways to teach and/or share my skills with others virtually.

This is my first digital embroidery pattern document that i have been designing. It's still not 100% but I am keen to continue to make more all in-relation to my own practice.
