About this work

Alkis Pierrakos’ 2013 ink drawing shows a swirling naval battle with galleys crashing under a dark sky. The ships’ masts create skeletons against smoke, while waves toss broken oars like matchsticks. The stark black-and-white gives each clash a sharp, almost modern drama. Pierrakos leaves out color to focus on line and shadow, making the 1571 fight feel like yesterday. If this bold style grabs you, look up Pierrakos, Alkis (1920-2017).
