Eleni Varopoulou, curator of the diptych exhibition “Cataclysms I & II” of David Benforado, is the coordinator of the discussion.

The focus of the talk will be on the use of pigments by visual artists today and the painterly pursuits of the two attending artists. D.Kremer’s and M.Chatzichristou’s profound knowledge and vast experience on pigments will enrich the discussion and provide the audience with a more in depth understanding of the great adventure of color transculturally and throughout the centuries .
