03-10-2024George Zongolopoulos _ Alexia Xafopoulou
03.10 - 25.10.2024
Opening Thursday 3 October 2024, 18.00 - 21.30
Lola Nikolaou Gallery will present from Thursday 3 October to Friday 25 October, a selection of serial reproductions of works in small format by George Zongolopoulos from the eponymous Foundation.
Among the works are the Olympic Circles, the sculptural composition at the entrance of the Thessaloniki International Exhibition Centre, the iconic Umbrellas on the beach in Thessaloniki, as well as other compositions with umbrellas, lenses and laminates.
At the same time, the gallery will present the most recent painting compositions of the artist Alexia Xafopoulou, her series of works entitled The Great Wide Open, works on canvas of varying dimensions with mixed techniques.
[... these irregular contours and asymmetries of volumes and planes, like the pieces of a puzzle with its own distinct logical constitution, could be personal clarifications of the perception of landscapes and paths. It is a spatial coexistence in succession, similar to the 'dredging' of thought, where a pictorial sense of time is served, while at the same time a topospatial attitude towards chaos is declared.

APHRODITI LITI - ELENI THEOFILAKTOU
31-10-2024
Eleni Theofilaktou_Afrodite Liti 31.10 - 28.11.2024 Opening Thursday 31 October 2024, 18.00 - 21.30 Eleni Theofilaktou's new work is mainly works on paper with mixed materials. She confesses about this series of works : ''I don't know what happened and I missed the act of painting, thinking that I 'write' or 'sew' but I don't betray, I don't do injustice, I don't disguise myself. This project led me to a very welcoming, almost proprietary dormitory. It was not the images that were the goal but the suspension of the image, which carries the painting process into perpetuity-at least for me. Ultimately a manipulation of the ego by my materials and the joy of 'doing'. Aphrodite Liti among others says about her work : The main axis of my work is the in-depth exploration of the common ground between the verb ''statue'' and the term ''statue''. I understand my art not as a series of equations but as variations of promises of happiness. The sculptures develop a morphological and semiotic dialogue with anthropology, folklore and the ancient sculptural tradition, while the frequent figurative references compose a deeply architectural organization of the sculptural space, with reference to both contemporary art and the Orphic and Paleochristian ''world''.
