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\u2014created using acrylic, oil and gouache on canvas\u2014invite a deep exploration of life in all its textures and tones. At the heart of Karakatsanis\u2019 practice lies a transcendent inner process shaped by memory and materiality. The exhibition title hints at the hidden mechanisms that define a place\u2019s essence: the subtle, often invisible tools that help us navigate, define and interpret the environments we inhabit\u2014as 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. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Opening night: Thursday 8 May 2025, 20:00 <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Opening hours: Tuesday, Thursday &amp; Friday: 12:00\u201321:00 Saturday: 12:00\u201315:00 Closed on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vassilis Karakatsanis invites us on a journey through the spectrum of contemporary existence\u2014a complex, ever-evolving interplay of memories, collective narratives and social dynamics.
