SUMMARY:Andreas Spiliotopoulos: Heroes of Today
DESCRIPTION:Astrolavos Art Gallery presents the solo painting exhibition of Andreas Spiliotopoulos\, titled “Heroes of Today”—a body of work that brings classical art into a direct dialogue with contemporary pop culture. Drawing influence from the allegorical and monumental traditions of painting\, as well as the kinetic energy and narrative drive of comic books\, the artist creates dense\, multi-layered compositions teeming with parallel action.\n\nOn his canvases\, joy coexists with fear\, irony with drama\, and the mundane with the hyperbolic. These modern-day “heroes” are not supernatural figures\, but characters of contemporary life navigating fragility\, intensity\, and humour. The exhibition offers a vivid and penetrating look at our world\, suggesting that the comic and the tragic are\, ultimately\, two sides of the same narrative coin.\n\nExhibition duration: 1–30 May\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Wednesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 12:00–16:00 and 17:00–20:00; Saturday: 11:00–15:00. Closed on Sunday & Monday.

SUMMARY:Dimitris Rentoumis: Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Crux Galerie presents the solo exhibition of Dimitris Rentoumis. Through his new series of works\, the artist “dialogues” with the transient and fragile nature of paper\, experimenting with the transition from a two-dimensional image to a three-dimensional variable materiality. He transforms paper surfaces into sculptural forms that occupy the space.\n\nWith a rich journey that includes studies at the Athens School of Fine Arts and the Netherlands\, as well as participation in prestigious programmes such as Jan van Eyck and Onassis Air\, the creator brings a proposal to Athens that balances the delicacy of the material with the dynamics of the installation.\n\nThis is a unique opportunity for the public to discover how paper can “breathe” and develop beyond the boundaries of the frame\, creating a living visual environment.\n\nExhibition duration: 1–30 May\n\nOpening hours: Wednesday–Friday: 12:00–20:00; Saturday: 12:00–16:00. Closed on Monday\, Tuesday & Sunday.

SUMMARY:Evgenia Grigoraki: Roadside Shrines
DESCRIPTION:The Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Centre presents a solo exhibition by Evgenia Grigoraki titled “Roadside Shrines”\, a photographic series focusing on a familiar yet often overlooked element of the Greek landscape. Through a personal and direct lens\, the artist approaches these shrines not merely as markers of memory and faith\, but as small\, paradoxical presences that persist in inhabiting public spaces—alongside roads\, around bends\, and throughout our daily commutes.\n\nThe strength of the exhibition lies in this experiential\, almost tender observation. Under Grigoraki’s gaze\, these shrines are transformed into objects of artistic exploration\, highlighting their enduring stability and the specific meaning they continue to hold within Greek society. It is an exhibition that bridges the everyday gaze with folk tradition\, inviting us to pause once more before one of the most characteristic and poignant sights of the Greek roadside. Presented alongside Marilia Fotopoulou’s exhibition\, the show will offer you the chance to explore two different yet complementary photographic interpretations of the same subject.\n\nExhibition duration: 1–23 May\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday: 15:00–20:00; Wednesday\, Friday: 12:00–20:00; Saturday: 12:00–16:00. Closed on Monday & Sunday.

SUMMARY:Dr. Yiannis N. Tzortzis: Greenland: Blue Ice
DESCRIPTION:The a.antonopoulou.art gallery presents the new solo photography exhibition by Dr. Giannis Tzortzis\, which is held under the auspices of the Embassy of Denmark in Greece. Through a “green photographic journey” carried out in August 2024\, the artist captures the “barometer of global climate change”: Greenland.\n\nThe exhibition is a powerful “visual cry of anguish\,” documenting UNESCO World Heritage sites at risk and the everyday life of the Indigenous Inuit people. Tzortzis’ experiential images highlight the fragile beauty of the landscape and the dramatic reality of the climate crisis\, reminding us that ice takes on a deep blue color just before it disappears forever.\n\nThe exhibition is accompanied by texts by writer Maria Giannayou and academic Christos Zerefos\, enriching the dialogue between art\, science\, and environmental awareness.\n\nOpening: Thursday\, May 7 at 19:00.\n\nExhibition duration: 7–30 May\n\nOpening hours: Wednesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 14:00–20:00; Saturday: 12:00–16:00. Closed on Monday\, Tuesday & Sunday.

SUMMARY:Giorgos Louloudis: The Path of Light – The Innate
DESCRIPTION:In his new solo exhibition at Gallery Genesis\, Giorgos Louloudis places light centre stage\, moving beyond its role as a mere physical phenomenon.The artist turns his focus toward the small Greek chapels and their unique relationship with the landscape\, transforming them into potent symbols of hope\, silence\, and internal quest. These works function as quiet stations of contemplation\, where physical space and psychological experience are inextricably linked.\n\nThrough a powerful expressionist style\, Louloudis’s painted surfaces gain emotional intensity and depth. Light becomes an inner necessity\, a force that guides the viewer toward a deeply personal reading of the work. This exhibition speaks to the universal need for solace and the enduring power of hope\, asserting art’s ability to serve as a point of renewal and reflection in demanding times.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening: Thursday\, May 7 at 20:00. \nExhibition duration: 7–30 May \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 12:00–21:00; Saturday: 12:00–15:00. Closed on Monday\, Wednesday & Sunday.
