Reverse Archaeology: Metamorphosis of Aphrodite
In the Hellenic Museum's newest exhibition, acclaimed international printmaker Marco Luccio is both the creator and destroyer of his divine subject: Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love and desire.
Inspired by a cast statue on display at Melbourne's Hellenic Museum, the artist has etched the goddess onto a single copper plate using his signature Drypoint technique, before carrying her through a series of bold transformations.
The result is a series of unique and irreplicable, yet ultimately connected works which explore themes of love, impermanence, and the power of human connection.
