Zoumboulakis Gallery presents the new group exhibition entitled, "Ink and Stone", where the timeless dialogue between sculpture and drawing unfolds. The exhibition brings together a collection of visual references that examine the language of drawing and sculpture as interrelated, or parallel. The close relationship between drawing and sculpture bridges centuries of artistic tradition.

In "Ink and Stone" this is presented through the interplay of contemporary artists, with historical works from the collection of the Zoumboulakis gallery. Works that complement and contrast each other address both the tactile and the visual dimension contained in the shared space between the fields of drawing and sculpture; thus revealing intermediate, dialectical spaces, creating a framework where the tactile and the ethereal converge.

The drawings that occupy the walls of the gallery capture either fleeting moments of inspiration, or meticulous studies that offer hidden glimpses into the artistic process, revealing the genesis of ideas that eventually take shape through the transformation of inert matter into sculptural narratives. The sculptures presented incorporate classical structures and traditional elements, such as marble and clay, but also modern techniques, such as found objects, cement and graphite. Artistic practices engage in a dialogue that manages the multiple meaningful dimensions of materials, exploring the connections and contrasts between formalist and conceptual approaches and weaving a narrative that examines the
immersion in surface and materiality, as opposed to a focus on line and form.
