About the “Ink on Paper” Exhibition Series
“Ink on Paper” is an initiative of visual art actions, exhibitions and events established by Art Curator Paris Kapralos in 2019, aiming to promote the use of a wide range of ink- and paper-based media in the visual arts in Greece, in line with international practice. Within the framework of the initiative, exhibitions are organised with the dual aim of presenting noteworthy visual artists working with these media to the art-loving public, and of familiarising and informing artists about the contemporary possibilities of these media, fostering collaborations within Greece and internationally, and more.
