Description
Ιn The Woman Mountain of 1992, Nature and Man become one. The art of Manousakis shows strong experiential characteristics, which, however, transform his vision into an archetype and make it universal. His everyday family life, after the birth of his son Tilemachos, is given expression in works which he created and exhibited in 2001, under the title 'Life at Length', with a tendency to make his own personal, highly-charged life experience an overall and collective matter.
