SUMMARY:Nikolas Klironomos: A Retrospective (1985–2025)
DESCRIPTION:This major retrospective is a brilliant place to start looking into the work of Nikolas Klironomos\, an artist who has spent decades masterfully blurring the lines between fine art and set design.\n\nKlironomos doesn’t just paint; he “directs” his canvases. Think of him as a visual filmmaker who takes the raw\, chaotic energy of Athens\, our streets\, our faces\, our light\, and filters it through a lens of memory and emotion.\n\nIn this exhibition\, the mundane meets the dreamlike. You’ll see the changing seasons of the city tangled up with those small\, quirky moments that make life in Athens so unique. By playing with vibrant palettes and some rather unusual materials\, he creates scenes that feel like they’re in constant motion. It’s a bit like catching a glimpse of Athens from a moving Vespa—everything is fluid\, poetic\, and strangely alive.\n\nThis exhibition is designed to speak directly to your heart and your memory. What’s truly clever is how Klironomos takes “the bits and bobs” of life\, those fragmented\, everyday moments\, and gives them a sense of grandeur and importance. It’s a proper journey into the hidden corners of time and what it actually means to be human.\n\nExhibition duration: 1–30 May\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday–Saturday: 11:00–19:00; Sunday: 10:00–16:00. Closed on Monday.

SUMMARY:Panos Charalambous: COLUMBIA
DESCRIPTION:At CITRONNE Gallery\, Panos Charalambous invites us to step into a “sonic room” that speaks directly to the memory of the city. The journey begins in 2006\, the year the historic Columbia vinyl record factory in Rizoupoli was demolished\, symbolically closing a massive chapter of Greek music history. Columbia was a place where the voices\, songs\, and moments that shaped our collective soundscape were once etched into wax.\n\nCharalambous transforms the gallery into a visceral\, immersive installation. Here\, you are invited to walk across a “sound floor\,” literally treading on the echoes of a memory that refuses to fade. It is a haunting reminder that music doesn’t vanish with the buildings that once housed it; instead\, it survives through emotion\, shared experience\, and our collective imagination.\n\nIn a city that is constantly evolving\, COLUMBIA is a profound meditation on decay\, remembrance\, and our deep-seated need to keep our shared history alive.\n\nExhibition duration: 1–30 May\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 11:00–20:00; Wednesday\, Saturday: 11:00–16:00. Closed on Monday & Sunday.

SUMMARY:Kristine Lippire: From LA to Athens - Notes on Light and Material
DESCRIPTION:The Phoenix Athens space hosts Los Angeles-based artist Kristine Lippire in an exhibition that bridges the American metropolis with Athens. Centred on the Exarcheia neighbourhood\, Lippire draws inspiration from the energy of youth\, idealism\, and graffiti as a medium of expression and claim within the urban fabric.\n\nWith concrete sculptures\, paintings\, and patterns influenced by the wrought-iron grilles of post-war buildings\, the artist transforms architectural fragments into a new visual language. Her work is not merely an aesthetic proposal\, but a profound reflection on resilience and the collective memory inscribed upon the walls and streets of our cities.\n\nIt is an invitation to view urban reality through a more human and creative lens where the blinding light meets the imperfections of everyday life.\n\nOpening: Friday\, May 8 at 19:00.\n\nExhibition duration: 8–21 May\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 12:00–18:00; Wednesday\, Saturday: 12:00–16:00. Closed on Monday & Sunday.

SUMMARY:Marilia Fotopoulou: Iconostases
DESCRIPTION:The Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Centre presents “Iconostases”\, a solo exhibition by Marilia Fotopoulou. This visual proposition turns its gaze toward a subject that is deeply familiar yet often bypassed in our daily lives: the roadside shrines encountered across the Greek landscape. The artist approaches these small\, metallic markers of memory and faith not merely as elements of the scenery\, but as vessels for personal histories\, collective sensitivity\, and profound cultural continuity.\n\nUsing the language of contemporary fine-art photography\, the exhibition illuminates the relationship between the individual and the road\, exploring themes of loss\, memory\, and the urban environment. Fotopoulou’s works do not simply document a characteristic Greek sight; they transform it into a field of observation and reflection. This is a show that invites us to look again at what we pass by every day\, discovering within these shrines a unique weight of emotion\, tradition\, and silent witness. The exhibition works well the Eugenia Grigoraki’s exhibition\, also on view at the gallery\, giving you a broader perspective on this distinctive symbol of the Greek landscape.\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:Athina Pappa: Angel Energy
DESCRIPTION:Art Zone 42 Gallery presents “Angel Energy”\, the latest body of work by Athina Pappa. This exhibition marks a poignant transition from organic matter to the ethereal\, shifting from recognisable forms toward a more internal\, abstract experience. It is a natural evolution of her previous artistic explorations\, this time carving out a more spiritual path where imagery is liberated from traditional shapes\, operating instead through the interplay of colour\, light\, and rhythm.\n\nIn “Angel Energy”\, figurative references recede\, making way for expansive colour fields\, rich textures\, and repeating motifs that encourage the eye to move freely across the canvas. Rather than following a strict narrative\, the exhibition offers a visceral experience; viewers are invited to find their own personal connection to themes of elevation\, energy\, and spiritual fluidity. It is a thoughtful artistic proposition that brings a sense of stillness\, light\, and internal shift to the heart of the city.\n\nExhibition duration: 2–15 May\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 15:00–21:00; Wednesday\, Saturday: 12:00–16:00. Closed on Monday & Sunday.
