SUMMARY:CONQUISTADORS
DESCRIPTION:Nikos Kyriakopoulos and his conquistadors disembark on Lenorman Street. \n\nDragons and wild beasts\, locals and conquistadors—and even Death himself—battle deep in untrodden jungles. \n\nThe thirty-six works in this exhibition are not intended to serve History or the historical genre of painting. Instead\, the artist draws his material from the mythos surrounding the Age of Discovery\, crafting images that move beyond naturalism\, both in form and content. Created using monotype\, a technique dating back to the 16th century\, the works gain added resonance when paired with the fantastical stories they depict. The adventures of the characters serve as a point of departure—not only for the adventures of line and colour\, but also for reflection on themes such as desire\, fear\, conflict and illusion. \n\nOpening: Thursday 8 May 2025\, 19:30–23:00 \n\nOpening hours: Monday to Friday: 10:00–18:00 Saturday: 11:00–15:00 Closed on Sunday

SUMMARY:Solo Exhibition: Valinia Svoronou - Clocks of the Tides
DESCRIPTION:“Ah! That marvellous little thing – that fell into the sea – like a diamond slipped from the fingers of God. The abandoned pearl you long to place upon the alabaster neck of the beloved you adore.” \n\nThis passage from a book by Akilas Milas evokes the Princes’ Islands of the early 20th century as a jewel lost to the sea\, a keepsake for a cherished beloved. Despite its old-fashioned phrasing\, it conveys a powerful sense of a vanished place. Valinia Svoronou’s exhibition captures such moments—carried through intergenerational narratives\, experienced by the artist and reshaped to reconcile with a time that is at once personal and collective\, hazy and precise. Sculptural forms\, notes and moving images become bulwarks in a world rich with memory: reflections from the Eastern Mediterranean\, Athens\, the Sea of Marmara and Asia Minor. These are moments of pause and re-formation—fragments of places remembered and reimagined.

SUMMARY:Vassilis Papageorgiou - Painting and Sculpture: Lignea Creatura Stans
DESCRIPTION:The worlds of plants\, animals and humans—along with legend\, myth\, imagination and dream—form the basis of Vassilis Papageorgiou’s new artistic exploration. His paradoxical heroes and hand-crafted wooden creatures inhabit both two- and three-dimensional space in a state of perpetual whirling. Through an aesthetic lens\, Papageorgiou reflects on the consequences of humanity’s destructive impact on the natural world. From this meditation\, he generates new values—drawn from the cultural references of nature and tradition—that define the conditions for coexistence. \n\nOpening hours: Monday – Friday: 11:30–14:30 & 17:30–20:30 Saturday: 11:30–15:00

SUMMARY:How to Fit Inside the City
DESCRIPTION:The work of Haris Baskozos is compelling not only for its final forms but also for the sources of inspiration behind them. The artist studied architecture at the National Technical University of Athens and fine arts at the Athens School of Fine Arts. When drawing from his background in architecture\, his work leans toward a rectilinear style that echoes urban planning and evokes a kind of “emotional Mondrian.” In these compositions\, consciousness seems to take the lead. In contrast\, when his fine arts training prevails\, his work shifts towards a freer\, more instinctive expression\, dominated by human-like forms and influenced by art brut\, where the unconscious plays the central role. In both cases\, the final result is not a strict monologue of either approach\, but rather a dialogue—one side mostly leading\, the other echoing through. In this way\, Baskozos offers a fascinating visual argument: the idea of collectivity (the city) tends to be shaped through a more conscious process\, while reflections on individuality (the human being) emerge through the unconscious. \n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 12:00–20:00 Wednesday & Saturday: 12:00–16:00
