Wall decoration - Kairos Plaster Wall Relief - Greece

Kairos Plaster Wall Relief,

A vertical plaster wall relief depicting Kairos in a forward-leaning pose, arms extended against a stylised background plane. The composition matches the well-known Kairos relief displayed in Trogir, Croatia, documented in situ behind glazing, with the same head profile, arm position, and stepped ground treatment.


Year of production
1970 (circa)

Style or use
Classical subject wall relief; interior wall decoration; studio reference piece

Current condition
Good overall. Surface wear, minor abrasions and small edge chips consistent with plaster. No structural breaks visible in the provided photos.

Value justification
The piece is a large-format plaster relief after a specifically identifiable, publicly documented classical relief from Trogir. Collectors value such casts for their direct link to a known reference model, strong wall presence, and the traditional role of plaster casts in European interiors and art training.

Making context: representative of period/region/style
Plaster casts and relief reproductions were widely used across Europe in the 20th century to bring classical figurative models into domestic and educational settings. The Kairos subject is tied to the Trogir relief associated with the Church and Friary of St Nicholas.

State of preservation: originality, patina, no damage
Original plaster surface with natural patina; no repaint visible; minor losses limited to edges.

Dimensions
H 47 cm, W 32 cm, D 8 cm
