Orlando, Fl \u2013 After making history as the first non-Greek Artist in history to exhibit in the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, Orlando\u2019s fine art photographer Josh Garrick will open an exhibit of new works at the HENAO Contemporary Center, the Art Gallery that \u2018opened\u2019 with Garrick\u2019s work one year ago. The new exhibit \u2014 titled \u201cClassicism from Two Continents,\u201d will include new works along with a Tribute to Iris Kritikou, the distinguished European Curator who has championed Garrick\u2019s work for three years \u2013 beginning with the history-making exhibit at Greece\u2019s world-famous Archaeological Museum.
\nThe much-honored Iris Kritikou will attend the Opening Night (open to the Public) on October 1, 2016. As one of Europe\u2019s leading Curators of Fine Art, Iris Kritikou is responsible not only for the record-breaking exhibit of Garrick\u2019s work Seeking the Ancient Kallos, which opened in Athens on September 12, 2013, but also for the six European Museum exhibits of Garrick\u2019s work that have taken place over the past 3 years. \u00a0Seeking the Ancient Kallos made history in a series of \u2018Firsts\u2019 in 2013 as Garrick\u2019s exhibit was the FIRST in the 150-year history of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece to:<\/p>\n

About Seeking the Ancient Kallos:\u2028Seeking the Ancient Kallos was a \u2018hit\u2019 in Athens and was extended twice before moving to the Sismanoglio Megaron in Istanbul, Turkey, where it opened to the Public on January 31, 2014. Sent to Turkey from Greece as part of the \u201cpeace process\u201d between the two nations, the exhibit hit an unexpected chord with the Turkish people whose interest caused the exhibit to be extended twice in Turkey. Since then the exhibit has opened in Brussels, Belgium; been exhibited at the Greek Consulate in New York City, and \u2018opened\u2019 a New Arts Center on the island of Santorini in Greece.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

About Classicism from Two Continents:\u2028For his One-Year Anniversary exhibit at the Henao Contemporary Center and Gallery at 5601 Edgewater Road in Orlando, Garrick and Henao Center Director Jose Henao will present:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0A tribute to Iris Kritikou as \u201cHonorary Curator\u201d by re-creating the exhibit she curated at the Hydra (Greece) Museum of Art (May 2016), which presented Garrick\u2019s works on the walls of the Museum with 13 Greek sculptors presenting works which \u201cspoke\u201d to the works on the walls. \u00a0Two of those Greek Artists \u2013 Stelios Panagiotopoulos and Marios Voutsinas \u2013 will be among the Artists at the Henao Center. \u00a0They will be joined by Orlando Artists John Baker, Mindi Colton, Marsha DeBroske, Peter Forster, and Richard Munster (list in formation).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2022 Garrick will show a few iconic pieces from the original Archaeological Museum exhibit, but the \u201cTwo Continents\u201d concept will come from a photo shoot Garrick did in Washington D.C., a city created by our Founding Fathers to \u2018re-create\u2019 and pay homage to the Classical Period of ancient Athens. \u00a0Some titles will even challenge the viewer to determine if he\/she is looking at an ancient monument from Greece or a unique view of a monument in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Additional interest will come from new works Garrick created through unique access to the blockbuster exhibit of \u2018Pompeii\u2019 which he photographed while it set attendance records at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto beginning in June 2015. Completely buried under volcanic ash, the once-thriving city of Pompeii completely vanished from sight and remained buried for 1,700 years until the mid-1700\u2019s when archaeologists uncovered the city frozen in time. Garrick photographed over 200 objects excavated from the ancient site including gold, silver, mosaics, jewellery, statuary and body casts that tell the tragic story of Pompeii.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Other new work will derive from Garrick\u2019s July 2016 sail up the Danube to the fabled cities of Bucharest, Pecs, Belgrade, Budapest, Prague and Dresden where he sought out treasures from the Classical Period in the museums of those cities. Including seldom seen works from the \u201cBrandenburg Collection\u201d of Friedrich Wilhelm I (1620 to 1688), the uniqueness of these works speaks to the universal influence of the Classical Artists.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With an educated idealism and a sincere love for his subject, J. Joshua Garrick captures unexpected views of Classical sculptures and monuments in images that are then printed with an innovative laser technology on brushed aluminium. This technique gives the works an \u2018enhanced dimensional depth.\u2019 Garrick\u2019s enhanced photography forms a sculpture gallery \u2013 his personal view of often unseen details of the sculptures. Critics agree the work reminds viewers that these statues were once living, breathing people. Garrick\u2019s photographs \u201csee\u201d this Classical beauty with an eye developed over decades of photographing the museums and monuments of Greece. With a philhellenic respect for the sophisticated creations of Greece\u2019s ancient artists, Garrick says, \u201cI hope to remind people of the primary role of Greek culture as the cradle of Western art and the inseparable relationship of modern Greece to Europe. That includes the very real wealth of history which Greece will always have to share with the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
