Έρως -1- Μελέτη Γραμμάτων is a 1987 by Alex Mylona, held at Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki – MOMus.
This drawing shows block letters spelling “EROS” in Greek, done in red and black ink. It looks like a study, not a finished work. The letters have rough edges, as if he was testing how words could become shapes. Mylona used these sketches to plan sculptures where words would stand as solid forms. He tried different colors and ways to build each letter. Some pages look messy, others clean, showing him searching for the best look. Check out more of his word-based work at the Museum of Ethnography.
Alex Mylona (Athens, 1920 – 2016) was a Greek sculptor, known for her multidimensional and experimental approach to art.
