The thematic sections constituting the retrospective exhibition are evident: the abstract themes from the London-years, the seascapes and sailing boats, the compositions of birds, flowers and butterflies, the antiwar subjects and those related to desertification, the urban and industrial landscapes. Rich somepromotional colours and textured areas are predominant in the abstract compositions. The figurative works are characterised by pure forms, geometric drawing, simplicity and balance. Their colour scale is broad, often reaching lyricism and emotion as the various aspects of the natural world are interpreted poetically.
The show also includes material from Iris Xilas Xanalatos’ private archive of her Greek and international exhibitions.
The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue, in Greek and English.
