Pleasure Hunt
(2022)

A solo exhibition by Mikaella Socratous
Featuring: Works by Stelios Georgiou

Curated by Emily Petridou 

Documentation by Mikaella 
Melanidoou




Pleasure Hunt is an art exhibition that encapsulates the strong subconscious desire to grasp and therefore manifest a “tangible” treasure. This is a result made through visual associations, as per what could be seen in everyday life, any dream state, and transcendental sentiments.

The concept’s ambiguous outlook aims to recognise the endless possibilities in the depths of this pursuit, as it stems from various pure intents due to our intrinsic nature as people. A momentary mental association that harmoniously brings us to a powerful halt, to underline that reality cultivates fluidity in terms of visual information. Painting is a medium that can capture and suffice the intangible nature of the events of a never-ending Pleasure Hunt, to sustain their existence.

In this exhibition, you are not only invited to witness the two artists’ findings in regard to the Hunt, but also indulge in your own perspectives of desire. To each his own net.
