About this event
The exhibition reflects on how artificial structures impose geometry, order, and repetition upon the organic flow of the landscape, while also acknowledging how the natural continues to exist within, around, and despite these conditions. At its core lies a meditation on the layered and fragmented structure of the contemporary landscape, informed by a growing disconnection between natural systems and human-made environments.
Some works invite interaction, allowing the exhibition to become a living system that responds to presence. With pieces such as The Twin Landscape Puzzle and Secret Landscapes, the process was to create situations where the dynamics between the human element, geometry, and nature could be tested. The notion of ‘play’ shaped these works, creating a collective environment around a table, where interaction is key.
The linocut prints reflect a method of flattening, segmenting, and coding space, echoing early cartographic practices. Their black-and-white language recalls how maps once defined, outlined, and classified terrain. The use of monchrome and line representation emphasises the essential elements of natural forms. These representations are based on imagined topographies that emerge from both observed and invented forms, bridging systematic and scientific documentation with subjective interpretation.
Ultimately, the exhibition reflects an ongoing exploration of our relationship to the landscape, how it is experienced, represented, and reimagined. It brings together handmade landscape prints with mechanical repetition, randomness with order, and spatial openness with architectural containment. Rather than proposing a solution or a narrative, the exhibition situates the audience within fragments that never fully settle.
Eleni Maragaki is a visual artist born in Athens, working across sculpture, installation, and expanded printmaking. She studied Painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts (2013–2018) and MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, UAL (2020–2022), supported by the Mona Hatoum Scholarship. Eleni is an elected member of the Royal Society of Sculptors.
Eleni’s work has been showcased in numerous exhibitions across the UK, Europe, and Asia. Notable recent shows include: the Shijiazhuang Youth Art Biennale in Hebei (2023, China), a screening of a short animation film at LUX Moving Image (2022, London), and ‘Fragments of a Landscape’, her latest solo show as part of her residency at WIP Studios (2025, London). She has exhibited in various renowned spaces such as the Christian and Byzantine Museum of Athens, Wells Cathedral, and Tate Modern.
Eleni has undertaken several residencies with a focus on on environmental themes and community involvement in various galleries and organisations including: The Muse Gallery (2022, London), Mahler & LeWitt Studios in Spoleto (2023, Italy) and NY20+ Art Museum in Sichuan (2025, China). In 2023, she engaged in a collaborative project with Leslie Thompson, organised by the Royal Society of Sculptors and Art et Al, focusing on neurodivergent and inclusive creative practices. Her contributions to publications include co-authoring the essay ‘Order to Chaos’ presented during ‘Offprint’ at Tate Modern (2025).
Her public art experience includes: ‘Pompe’, a light installation commissioned by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and displayed at the Stavros Niarchos Park (2022 and 2024), an interactive public sculpture exhibited at the Art Station Dubulti in Latvia (2021), as well as, her latest public sculpture proposal shortlisted for the First Plinth Award by the Royal Society of Sculptors (2023).
