SUMMARY:Group Exhibition: Abandoned Cartographies and Other Odd Hours
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Abandoned Cartographies and Other Odd Hours explores uncharted regions of the subconscious\, forming a constellation of inquiries that defy rationality\, order and narrative coherence. It focuses on lived experiences that elude conscious perception and information\, opening up pathways to introspection and revealing hidden layers of the psyche. At the same time\, it activates stimuli that unearth buried memories and latent anxieties. \n\nCurated by: Dinos Chatzirafailidis \n\nParticipating artists: Elli Antoniou\, Giorgos Yiatromanolakis\, Konstantinos Lianos\, Stefania Strouza\, Dimitris Tampakis\, Sokratis Fatouros\, Despina Charitonidi\, James Fuller\, Shambhavi Kaul\, Louis-Philippe Scoufaras\, Sasha Streshna \n\nOpening hours: Tuesday – Friday: 11:00–15:00 & 17:00–20:00 Saturday: 11:00–16:00

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: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:Vassilis Karakatsanis: Urban Tools
DESCRIPTION:Vassilis Karakatsanis invites us on a journey through the spectrum of contemporary existence—a complex\, ever-evolving interplay of memories\, collective narratives and social dynamics. His exhibition Urban Tools unfolds as a compelling dialogue between past and present\, the personal and the monumental. Seven large-scale paintings\, accompanied by numerous smaller works—created using acrylic\, oil and gouache on canvas—invite a deep exploration of life in all its textures and tones. At the heart of Karakatsanis’ practice lies a transcendent inner process shaped by memory and materiality. The exhibition title hints at the hidden mechanisms that define a place’s essence: the subtle\, often invisible tools that help us navigate\, define and interpret the environments we inhabit—as well as those that shape and compose our very being. The urban landscape is not only his subject matter; it becomes his medium. Each brushstroke reveals the layered relationship between its singularity and the stories it holds. Symbols of personal and collective identity\, ideology and emotion are interwoven into the fabric of daily life. \n\nOpening night: Thursday 8 May 2025\, 20:00 \n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday & Friday: 12:00–21:00 Saturday: 12:00–15:00 Closed on Monday\, Wednesday and Sunday

SUMMARY:Group Exhibition: Abandoned Cartographies and Other Odd Hours
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Abandoned Cartographies and Other Odd Hours explores uncharted regions of the subconscious\, forming a constellation of inquiries that defy rationality\, order and narrative coherence. It focuses on lived experiences that elude conscious perception and information\, opening up pathways to introspection and revealing hidden layers of the psyche. At the same time\, it activates stimuli that unearth buried memories and latent anxieties. \n\nCurated by: Dinos Chatzirafailidis \n\nParticipating artists: Elli Antoniou\, Giorgos Yiatromanolakis\, Konstantinos Lianos\, Stefania Strouza\, Dimitris Tampakis\, Sokratis Fatouros\, Despina Charitonidi\, James Fuller\, Shambhavi Kaul\, Louis-Philippe Scoufaras\, Sasha Streshna \n\nOpening hours: Tuesday – Friday: 11:00–15:00 & 17:00–20:00 Saturday: 11:00–16:00

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:Vassilis Karakatsanis: Urban Tools
DESCRIPTION:Vassilis Karakatsanis invites us on a journey through the spectrum of contemporary existence—a complex\, ever-evolving interplay of memories\, collective narratives and social dynamics. His exhibition Urban Tools unfolds as a compelling dialogue between past and present\, the personal and the monumental. Seven large-scale paintings\, accompanied by numerous smaller works—created using acrylic\, oil and gouache on canvas—invite a deep exploration of life in all its textures and tones. At the heart of Karakatsanis’ practice lies a transcendent inner process shaped by memory and materiality. The exhibition title hints at the hidden mechanisms that define a place’s essence: the subtle\, often invisible tools that help us navigate\, define and interpret the environments we inhabit—as well as those that shape and compose our very being. The urban landscape is not only his subject matter; it becomes his medium. Each brushstroke reveals the layered relationship between its singularity and the stories it holds. Symbols of personal and collective identity\, ideology and emotion are interwoven into the fabric of daily life. \n\nOpening night: Thursday 8 May 2025\, 20:00 \n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday & Friday: 12:00–21:00 Saturday: 12:00–15:00 Closed on Monday\, Wednesday and Sunday

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
