The communication of people through the communication of the bodies is being depicted as a first-class matter in Valentini Mavrodoglou’s watercolor works.
The need of communication throughout physical contact, where the body is a receiver and a beacon of the primary exchange of any kind of message is the main matter and is being depicted strongly but sensitively simultaneously in the artists works.
In every piece we can observe a variety of couples that suggest shadow and light at the same time, presence and absence, creating a game of love, a tender desire of a memory or an emotional wound.
The shadowy figures are dominant while they are tumbling at the moment of history of every piece, trying to win space and attention while the black color represents a void, a black hole, an absent figure.
On the contrary, the colorful figure is being suggested as an equal force to the black figure and it symbolises the absolute balance that communicates with the complex of every individual piece. The colors are flowing rich like blood in veins and it contrasts with the ‘shadowy existence’.
These series of works are debating the human need of real communication and/trough physical contact that is beyond erotic relationships and is needed deeply by the community.

Britta Marakatt-Labba (b. 1951, Idivuoma, Sweden)
-Historja
(2003–07)
Embroidery, print, appliqué, and wool on linen
Britta Marakatt-Labba was born in Idivuoma, outside of Kiruna in northern Sweden, Growing up with a deep knowledge of the collective practice of reindeer husbandry (her parents and her husband are rein-deer herders), this sense of movement and migration permeates her textile works. A defining feature of Historja is its undulating horizon line. A procession of animals emerges from the woods in a procession; first foxes, then bears, then ungulates (all holy for Sámi), then the first people emerge following the reindeer, first on foot and then on sleds. An entire history is on view, one that begins and ends with Sámi cosmology, in between are different formations of people, who are herding animals, tending to crops and cattle, drying fish. Yet they are also engaged in other Important activities as well: revolting against oppressive authorities (the 1851 Kautokeino uprising) as well as gathering together for political self-determination (marked by the first assembly in Sámi Parliament). This is not a linear history, there are deliberate breaks, shifts in style and content It can be read from right to left or left to right, the storyline generatively shifting with each subsequent view.
