SOPHIA VARI Le Désir de la Forme
Richard Dyer Sophia Vari’s exhibition, Le Désir de la Forme (The Desire of Form), falls naturally into three groups of plinth-based sculptures: lustrous, cast, gilt-bronze or ormolu works such as Tête Solaire (2001–2011) and Maternité (2003);1 carved marble figures which deploy a very special type of white marble, exemplified by Le Liseron (2015); and the third group of satin black painted cast bronzes (Douce Intimité, 2013, for instance). Each group draws out and exploits the very particular character of the material used, and at the same time evokes different associations to nature and connections to the history of art. The gilt-bronze works connect back through time to sculptures in the same medium by Jean (Hans) Arp, (German-French, 1886–1966), such as Coupe Chimérique, (1947) and Sculpture to be Lost in the Forest (plaster 1932 – cast c 1953–1958); there is also a strong connection with works by Romanian-born sculptor Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957), such as Mademoiselle Pogany II (1920–1921) and Head (1920–1923). These resonances with the work of other artists speak of the constantly unfolding interconnections between different eras of art practice and how contemporary artists, such as Vari, explore, innovate, and develop the project of Modernism, which in fact continued beyond the advent of so-called ‘Postmodernism’. Other members of this ‘extended family’ whose works resonate aesthetically with Vari’s practice, are the late-cubist sculptor Peter LipmanWulf (German/American, 1905–1993) – particularly resonant is Cubist Torso (c 1950) – and Mathias Goeritz (Mexican/German, 1915–1990), for instance Cubos Incrustados (1978). All art draws from and builds on other art, either previous or contemporaneous; however, we are not discussing derivation here, but a shared visual language which reaches across continents, cultures and time. The group of carved stone pieces are fashioned in marble from Paphos, Cyprus; this extraordinary stone is possessed of a pure, white, crystalline luminosity, with no dark veins as seen in other forms of marble. It is very rare, usually being quarried from the seabed; the most perfect part of the stone is found in the very middle of the rock. This group of work engages in an aesthetic dialogue with the sculpture of ancient Greece, subtly expressing the harmony and balance, not only of Greek sculpture, but also that of Greek nature: natural rock formations; the scintillating quality of light found in these islands; the luminous shadows, filled with reflected light due to the optical reflections of the sea; the iridescence of colours responding to this pure and refined luminosity. With their truncated ‘slices’ of solid geometry, curvilinear explorations of space and form, and

the deployment of the pure white marble, 2 these works have a particular relationship with the fragment of the Zouaglia Aphrodite (Musée du Louvre), which consists of only hips and legs and has therefore taken on an almost abstract formalism; the Torso of Faun (Gaddi Torso, Galeria degli Uffizi, Florence), which, bereft of head, arms and legs is transfigured into a dehumanised, non-figurative sculpture; and the serpent spiralling and contorting around the tree trunk in the Lycian Apollo (Louvre), which in isolation from the main figure of Apollo becomes the very embodiment of Modernist sculpture. Vari’s Présence Nue du Soleil (2015), fashioned in gilt-bronze, demonstrates close affinities with the figure of The Winged Victory of Samothrace (also Nike of Samothrace, Louvre); and Trouble Essentiel
of each, and at the same time their similarities. The artist is negotiating the territory between what can be sensed by touch, memory and intuition and what can be seen; traversing the caesura which lies between the sensual and tactile facture of her materials and an architecture of solidity, purity and the equilibrium induced through a harmonious distribution and arrangement of interlocking and coherent forms. Vari engages with the fundamental and enduring concerns of sculpture: geometry, volume, shape, and the tension between a still serenity and a dynamic movement through space in order to reveal the latent potentialities inherent in the cross-fertilisation of visual cultures form different ages and disparate cultures.

Vari’s intimate relationship with the history of art however, reaches even beyond Greek
gold to a bronze cast. This can be achieved chemically or by means of electroplating; the gold is then polished to a high finish with the effect now closer to that of bronze fresh from the foundry, before it tarnishes or is artificially patinated. 2 Although we have come to associate ancient Greek sculpture with the image of this pure white marble, these sculptures were in fact painted in bright, even garish colours; under ultraviolet light tiny fragments of pigment become visible. Although the effect of wind, rain and sun, augmented by careless ‘restoration’ has faded the remaining fragments of colour it is possible to arrive at an accurate assessment of what the original colours would have looked like. By using infrared and X-ray spectroscopy we can assess exactly which materials were used to manufacture the pigments; these were organic plant and animal matter, and crushed stones and shells.
antiquity, and geographically further afield than Europe. Art from the pre-Colombian or pre-colonial Americas; the Maya civilisation of Mesoamerica; Olmec culture (the first major civilisation in Mexico); and the Cycladic civilisation in the islands of the Aegean sea (3200–1100 BC), whose marble idols, or figurines, with their flat geometric attributes of the schematic ‘Pelos’ period – which bear a striking resemblance to Modernist sculpture – all also ‘talk back’ to Vari’s sculpture across the centuries. The early art of these precolonial cultures had already achieved the project of Modernism, centuries before the advent of the so-called ‘avant-garde’ in the West. Surrealism, Cubism, and Modernism (as exemplified in sculptures such as Alberto Giacometti’s Suspended Ball (1930–1931), Picasso’s Head of a Woman: Fernande (1909) or Henry Moore’s Working Model for Three Way Piece No 1: Points (1964), were not so much radical new innovations in the development of art, as the rupturing of Western conventions of the plastic arts which had been fairly stable since the Renaissance up to the advent of Cubism in 1907 with Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. This rupture was caused by the introduction of approaches to painting and sculpture from Eastern and other ancient, non-Western cultures; approaches not restricted by the tyranny of one-point perspective and the notion that art should be a mirror held up to nature. Vari’s praxis conflates the Hellenistic Baroque dynamism of sculptures such as Laocoön and His Sons, (c 27 BC–68 AD), with the calm serenity of Zen rock sculpture, and the supreme examples of high Modernism, which along with the refined aesthetic of the art of ancient cultures is infused with deeply embedded references to the human form, elucidating our relationship with the natural world. The whole exhibition acts not only as a collection of discrete sculptures, but also as a complete and integrated installation; the contrast between the three groups of sculpture serving to highlight the particularities

Introduction Dr. Diego Giolitti and Nikki van Beukering
Sophia Vari, a leading contemporary artist working in a variety of artistic media from oil painting to watercolour collage, will present works that incorporate a complex sense of space and volume, originating from soft, intertwined lines and created from materials such as marble and gilded bronze. In the mid-1970s, the artist commenced her career in painting and gained international recognition. She later chiefly dedicated her artistic life to sculpting because, she commented: “I want to touch, I want the volume, I want to be able to work around my work, I want to create into a space, to prove what I created really does exist. Discovering these things, I began to feel my own existence.” Vari has also exhibited various celebrated jewellery lines from the UK to New York City, which have become known as portable or wearable sculptures. The globetrotting Greek artist has presented her artworks in museums all around the world and will now embark upon the journey of presenting her sculptures in London. With the artworks in this exhibition, the artist wished to ‘imbue shapes and colour, even their geometry, with human qualities, within a spatial context.’ The sculptures, which were created from marble, bronze and gilded bronze, haven taken abstract forms, as with her jewellery. Figures are reduced to strong geometric shapes and highlight the contrasts between straight and curved lines. Form and consistency are recognisably underlined in Sophia Vari’s monumental sculptures. They allure shape and colour and allude to abstract explorations of form and structure as expressed by past protagonists of modern art, who, in corresponding situations, also followed kindred creative inspiration by employing essential forms and metaphors of the human body. The strong pictorial elements of Vari’s sculptures were inspired by her extensive knowledge of traditional art forms and their history.
Sophia Vari was born to a Greek father and a Hungarian mother in Attica, Greece. She has studied and worked abroad for a number of years, in England, but mainly in Paris, and it was there that she became acquainted with modern trends in sculptures, namely Cubism and Surrealism. At the age of 16 Vari began painting, however by 1976 she felt the need to express herself through another medium. A visit to Egypt in 1978 caused Vari to realise the importance of monumental sculpture, and she went on to spend fifteen years working with bronze and marble. Exhibitions celebrating her sculptural works have taken place at the City Hall of Athens, and in Pietrasanta, Italy. Eventually Vari found herself wanting to work with colour again. Thus, she turned to creating assemblages on canvas, in which she “no longer created with volume, but with colour, preserving my sculptural awareness of shape”. The fusion of these two artistic practices allows this artist to transfer colours onto different surfaces, and adapt them to various tones. Vari has also gained widespread recognition for her jewellery, or , designs. Greatly aware of artistic traditions that came before her, Vari draws inspiration from both the ancient and classical worlds, like that of the Mayan, Egyptian, and Cycladic sculptures. She is also fascinated by the traditions that have shaped Italian art, and is influenced by the simple shapes and detail seen in the works of Giotto and Piero della Francesca. Her creative talents have produced works that are full of sensuality, dynamism and intelligence. Notable exhibitions of Vari’s works have taken place in the Piazza Esedra, Italy, in Paris at the Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and in Monte Carlo in the gardens of Piazza del Casino. She is married to Colombian artist Fernando Botero and currently lives in Monaco, Colombia, Italy and New York.
It is important to note that despite the diverse nature of Sophia Vari’s art, the works were not only dictated by intellectual or dogmatic rules. The foundation of her art is mostly and deeply spiritual. Her artistic inspiration is derived from the universal law of creation: that which we perceive through experience. Works by Sophia Vari are the product of extensive experimentations geared towards the discovery of the unknown and subsequent implementation thereof into new shapes. These efforts appear virtually palpable in her sculptures. The resulting elegant and abstract explorations of form and structure express commitment as well as compassion; Vari’s work is based on the difference between what can be sensed and what can be seen.
