“Disappearance – Remembrance”  The Myth of Persephone works on paper.

 Gus V. Sermas @ Blue Streak Gallery.

 Art party for Gus Sermas @ The Blue Streak Art Gallery, Wilmington.

 The myth of Persephone was the closest the Greeks came to resurrection.   Sermas chooses to tell the tale with bold mixed media drawings, combining natural shapes with machine overtones.  Demeter, goddess of the Earth, was Persephone’ mother; Persephone’s father was Zues.  Gus told DoN, “Persephone went to the Underworld, everything dies so she can come back.”

Blue Streak Gallery is @ 1721 Delaware Ave, owner Ellen Bartholomaus is an old freind of DoN’s, it was wonderful re-connecting with an influential art person from the past.
