Limassol
The “Aru Naru Sure” exhibition by Georgios N. Paparoditis
The photography exhibition showcases the results of a study on traditional Japanese aesthetics through the medium of photography. Under the mentorship of the Japanese Artist and Master woodworker Masaharu Izaki, Georgios N. Paparoditis studied three aesthetic principles — ARU, NARU, SURU — for 6 months in everyday life scenes in rural Japan.
When: An opening event — Friday, 1/12, 7.30 pm, exhibition tour and tea testing — Saturday, 2/12, 7 pm, the show will be on display until 16/12.
The first solo exhibition of Meletios Meletiou “Playground”
In ‘Playground’, the artist creates a space that imposes a circular path without corners. He transforms the intensely hostile elements into colourful works that alter their initial purpose: to negate a flat surface and create obstacles. Meletiou conveys the exuberance set by the spatial context of the title as a heterotopia but also as a place of negotiation of powers. Ultimately, he explores the paradox of childhood, mimicry, reproduction, and the potential for resistance to established structures, readjustment, and the joy of disruption.
When: An opening event — Friday, 8/12, 7-10 pm, the show will be on display until 15/01.
Discover what the artist has been working on throughout 2023. A variety of art pieces will be available for purchase. Guests can also take advantage of networking opportunities while enjoying complimentary mulled wine and homemade mince pies.
Guests will enjoy a live electronic act during a delightful dinner, followed by a silent auction where guests will have the opportunity to bid for artworks donated by artists for the sole purpose of raising money, with initial bids being lower than gallery prices.
The “Love is a Verb” exhibition by Tatiana Brodatch
The artist reshapes the notions of freedom and body positivity with sculptures made from resin and marble dust, alongside limited edition prints that delve into the intricate weave of love.
Refuse, reduce, recycle, reuse, and repair — five steps of zero-waste life. Go green and visit the “NYX5R” environmental art exhibition at NYX Hotel Limassol organized with the support of City Friends Club and ARTNOW. The show previously called Re:course was on everyone's lips in the summer and will come back updated. You see local artists’ artworks and their commitment to a more eco-conscious culture.
When: The show on display until 10/01, meeting with artists — 9/12 and 16/12
Where: Lobby of NYX hotel, corner Anexartisias str. & Christodoulou Hadjipavlou str.
The “Post Tendebras Lux” exhibition by Andreas Kallis and Nikos Iavazzo
Nikos Iavazzo presents a series of paintings focusing on “little stars” and a series of photographs. In parallel, Andreas Kalli presents a series of wall-mounted sculptural constructions and a series of abstract paintings. The composition of the works, the one next to the other, constitutes a paradoxical narrative with light as the main protagonist (light within colours or in absolute black) or even non-light, its importance and its beauty.
When: The show on display until 09/12
Where: The O Gallery, Ioannou Gladstonos 11-Shop 3
The show is a journey of escapism, to shed and disengage adulthood momentarily and embrace your inner child full of hope, optimism and the desire to be a superhero.
When: 16-26/12
Where: Cap St. George x Psyfida Art Gallery, Promitheos 23
