Solo exhibition of Leonis Giagdzoglou in Athens
Leonis Giagdzoglou's solo exhibition titled 'WHERE I COME FROM' opens on February 12 at Contemporary Athens gallery, showcasing diverse artistic forms until March 7.
On February 12, at 19:00, the Contemporary Athens gallery will inaugurate a solo exhibition by the multifaceted artist Leonis Giagdzoglou, named 'WHERE I COME FROM'. This exhibition, which will run until March 7, is notable for its eclectic mix of artistic mediums, deviating from the usual focus on a single theme or form of art. Instead, Giagdzoglou creatively integrates ceramics, painting, and prominent sculptural elements, highlighting her unique artistic identity.
Contrary to traditional methods, Giagdzoglou employs unexpected everyday materials such as threads, fabrics, springs, and wires, combining both soft and more rigid materials with clay to transcend static forms. Her work draws viewers' attention with an innate childhood imagination, inviting them to touch, listen, dream, and complete these creations with their own imagination. This interplay is marked by surrealism and movement, encouraging an interactive experience with the art.
The exhibition not only showcases Giagdzoglou's innovative techniques but also reflects her individuality as a creator who breaks boundaries in contemporary art. With each piece, she challenges traditional perceptions of art, inviting deeper thoughts on identity and creative expression, making this exhibition a significant event for art enthusiasts in Athens.
