The UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak has canceled talks with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis amid a longstanding dispute over the Parthenon Marbles. The marbles, ancient Greek sculptures, were taken from Athens by British diplomats in the 19th century and have been displayed at the British Museum ever since. Greece has repeatedly called for their return, […]

I’d disagree with anyone who said they wasn’t passionate about something. Me, #StoneCarving and I found the best tool shop 👉 https://m.facebook.com/ErgaleiaMarmaroglyptikesSculptureTools 👈👀 #Athens 👉👉 https://www.kollaros.gr/en/ 👈👀 This guy supplies most of the restoration sites across #Greece including the #Acropolis and has worked with some of the top #Sculptors in the world. We had an hour long conversation me no #Greek, him no English, about tools, marble, carving and #sculptures My new favourite place. The chisels are much cheaper than the UK and look a better quality. Can’t wait to start with them on the #Pentelic #PentelicMarble #EverythingIsConnected Next stop @nordiamarble to order the stone. I’m still up for deposits of £250, to help me kickstart the project then a £500 final payment + shipping for one of the finished sculptures. That’s half price of what I’ll retail them at the end. It’ll be a year long project, I’ll be looking to exhibit them here in Athens with a catalogue so not only are they loaded with the history of the stone but they’ll also have a good provenance #StoneCarving #Stone #Marble #Parthenon #ParthenonMarbles (at Athens, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQqw4UWF4CN/?utm_medium=tumblr

**Sculpture Update** I’ve moved into my new studio. I now need to build a couple of banker/carving tables and replace some tools. A massive thank you to my buyers/patrons so far, ☺️🙏 I’m now opening up three more pre-sale offers to raise some much needed cash to buy tools, materials and print room hire. (Details below) ⬇️⬇️⬇️ A massive thank you again to @nordiamarble and the yard manager. Pentelic marble is A1 grade stone and these blocks are A1 cuts from that. #PentelicMarble is quarried 12 miles north west of #Athens and it’s loaded with history 💚➡️ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Pentelicus ⬅️👀 Apparently it’s so good the Romans exported it to Rome for some of their best buildings and sculptures. The #Acropolis, #Parthenon and #ParthenonMarbles are also made from this stone 💚➡️ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acropolis_of_Athens ⬅️👀 💚➡️ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elgin_Marbles ⬅️👀 I’m creating a new body of work working on small blocks, a series of 20 pieces, 30x15x15cms and carving the same forms I did in the UK from limestone (pictures on my Instagram), also a series of paintings, screen prints and collagraph prints. but to help me further subsidise this project, I’m going to offer up to 3 sculptures for a £250 deposit then £500 final payment + shipping when finished. As I have a few galleries interested in my work here in Athens, the retail price for individual pieces this size, going through them when the project is complete, will be £3,000 each. This is going to be a one year project, making the artworks with the intention of exhibiting them in a show here in Athens, with a catalogue, that will give all the finished pieces a good provenance. #Sculptor #SculptorsOfInstagram #Pentelic #Marble #StoneCarving #Carving #Artist #Kerameikos #Metaxourgeio #Athens #Greece (at Μεταξουργείο) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaMvN4WsGm_/?utm_medium=tumblr
