Some of the paint here started out as rock and bone. Kylie Manning works iron oxide, volcanic ash, crushed stone and galvanized bone into her surfaces, and Daybreak (2025), pictured for the show, mixes copper, mica and quartz into charcoal and oil on linen.

This is her first institutional solo show in Greece: new paintings plus loans from Pace Gallery and private collections, across the second floor. Manning grew up between Juneau, Alaska, and Mexico and worked on commercial fishing boats, and the foundation lists what came with her: tidal navigation, a boat pulling against open water, the cold pink of an Alaskan winter. You look for figures and find them half-dissolved into the weather. In a city that calls 12 degrees winter, that pink is the real thing.

Expect surface and weather rather than story. Tickets are €10 (€5 reduced), daily 10:00 to 18:00 and Thursdays until 20:00. Curator Akis Kokkinos leads a tour on Saturday 20 February at 12:00, the day before it closes.
