Christos Foukara

Gloria Gallery presents the anniversary painting exhibition of Christos Foukaras, on the occasion of the artist's 80th birthday. In the exhibition, the artist will present his most recent work, including works from the last four to five years, with seascapes, houses, courtyards, compositions with human figures, all captured in oils and pastels, as well as selected works from earlier periods. The opening of the exhibition will take place on November 22, 2024, at 6:30 pm, by the Mayor of Nicosia, Charalambos Pruntzos.

The art of Christos Foukaras has generated extremely positive reviews from important techno critics and artists. Haris Kambouridis, in 2002, wrote about his work:

"...Looking at Foukara's works, one experiences the special illumination of each moment, the passage of time from morning to dusk. Shadows in the ravines, hues that change according to the sunlight, colors that escape from the physical and turn into carriers of psychic meaning, in expressionist or fauvist writing, and not just impressionist as it seems at first glance…”

Nikos Hatzinikolaou, in 2007, adds:

"Christos Foukaras is one of the leading personalities of the artistic life of Cyprus and Greece. This is due to his creative work and moral stature. A world of great coherence and duration emerges through his oils and pastels. The world of Diamantis' Cyprus finds here its counterpart and continuation on the same level..."

In the catalog of the exhibition presented this year at the Mosaic Gallery in Paphos, the engraver Hampis writes:

"I've said it before, I've rewritten it, and I'll continue to do it beyond sentimentality and a friendly relationship, that Christos Foukaras was one painter among many, one who stands out from many others. In the painter of Cyprus, in the true sense of the word. Undeniable witness to the incredibly rich work he gave birth to! I speak with what I know about Art. Foukaras was the first among the first painters who praised Cyprus. Look at his work, study it, you will see yourself in it, you will see our history, our traditions, our morals and customs..."

Susan Vargas

Christos Foukara

Gloria Gallery presents the new exhibition of Susan Vargas, entitled VANITAS from 1 – 18 November 2024.

Susan Vargas was born in Bogotá, Colombia in 1963. From 1982 – 1986 she studied art in Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, GA., USA and in Florence, Italy. In 1987 she studied at the Hocshule fur Angewendete Kunst in Vienna, Austria. From 1988 to 1989 she did experimental theatre and video art at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogotá. During 1989 – 1990 she did a postgraduate course in art at the Cyprus College of Art.

In 1990 she started the “Praxis & Installations” with Rinos Stefani. In 1994 she participated in the Pan-Hellenic Art Symposium at the Famagusta Gate in Nicosia. In 1995 she did the installation “Road of Bread” in Apocalypse gallery, Nicosia. She participated in the installation “Sphere” 1998 and “SeaNet” 2000, both in the Akamas peninsula, Cyprus. In 1999 she represented Cyprus in the art project “Sail colony” in Samos Island and Thessalonica, Greece.

She has had 7 solo exhibitions and participated in many group shows in Cyprus, Greece, Colombia and the USA.

Art Theoretician Dr Nadia An axagorou, says:

“Susan Vargas develops a very personal idiom that ends up being universal in its origins, combining playfully and strongly while at the same time concentrating on European trends with the art of Cyprus and Latin America, where she comes from. the

In her appliqués, with the upright or inverted human figures, the limbs ending in autonomous existences, as floating palms or as inverted feet sinking into the water, with bulls and lions, fish and crocodiles, owls, eagles, hawks and all manner of flying and aquatic creatures, her landscapes and flower portraits function as a ritual eulogy to a universe, seen differently. Her paintings with the tiny people moving like puppets between tall buildings of big cities, manipulated, as it were, by evil forces, with the skulls and carcasses of animals next to the Crucified, with the Tower of Babel and the saving Ark of Noah, with human bodies bent and heads wedged in glasses, they constitute an elegy to life and death, to the suffocating loneliness one experiences when the psyche literally suffocates in conditions of isolation, among the crowd. Her work is raised as a cry of supplication that seeks release from dream-memories-nightmares and the comforting resurrection-elevation that the universe emits through the fluttering of a bird or the gentle touch of a cat.”

Niki Loizidis, Emeritus Professor of Art History, Athens School of Fine Arts states: “I believe that Susan Vargas ‘ multicultural experiences helped her to avoid frivolous and shallow association with artistic currents of the so-called postmodern aesthetics, which influenced the region in a way that I might call, culturally ‘neo-colonial’. Her charming thematic repertoire intertwines biblical narratives, stories from Cyprus and Latin America, bullfights and wars, themes of Greek mythology, migration, natural disasters, dreams, and personal myths. I would not hesitate to say that all categories of her works (textiles, oil paintings, drawings, constructions) express a spontaneous expressive immediacy often tender yet harsh, even violent but never simplistic. The Bull in the Art of Susan Vargas occupies a dominant position. Thus she paints a bull frolicking in the fields in the company of flying birds, or conversing with them in a ‘language’ that man, clinging to his reason, cannot conceive.”

George Gavriel

Kristia Andreou N O S T A L G I A

Gloria Gallery presents the new artistic proposal of George Gavriel. The exhibition will open on Friday, October 11, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. The academic Dr Christos Hadjioannou will perform the opening ceremony.

George Gavriel was born in Nicosia and studied at the "Surikov" Academy of Fine Arts, Moscow. He graduated in 1987 with a degree in "Master of fine arts". From 1990 to 2008 he worked as an art teacher in Secondary Education, from 2008 to 2017 he worked as an art inspector in M.E. and since 2017 he has been working as a Principal in Secondary Education schools. At the same time, he is active in the artistic events of Cyprus and abroad, with frequent solo and group exhibitions. In 1984, the Surikov Moscow State Art Institute, organized his first solo exhibition in the halls of the Academy. He has participated in the Beijing Biennale in 2010, 2012, 2017 and 2019. The National Museum of Art of China purchased his participating artwork at the 7th Beijing International Biennale. In 2013 he was awarded the State Illustration Award of Cyprus. His works are hosted in the books of Modern Greeks of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade of the Gymnasium. In 2018 he participated in the 1st Larnaca Biennale in Cyprus.

Like all artists, George Gavriel expresses through his works his love for our place, his experiences, and reflections on what is happening in Cyprus and in the world in general in his own special way.

The work of George Gavriel opens a new window in the artistic events of our place. A window that only free-thinking artists, far from defined frames and boundaries, can open. He states that he puts his art at the service of society, creates works that fight injustice and encourage participation in political action. At the same time, he remembers the beauty. He probably recalls it and leans on it like a button in the difficult fight. It oscillates between the awakening of aesthetic pleasure and the mobilization against the vicious forces of the system.

In the works of George Gavriel there is always that spark that distinguishes the true from the counter, the work of art from the beautiful representation. Through his drafts, the world is recorded seen with his own eyes, as he experiences it and dares to make it public by sticking his tongue out sharply in the system. He is original, he experiments with materials, with style, with composition. Sometimes it stigmatizes the system, sometimes it blurs, sometimes it explores the beauty of the world and sometimes it mocks or makes fun of it.

Kristia Andreou N O S T A L G I A

On Friday, September 20, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. the visual artist Hourig Torossian will inaugurate the painting exhibition of Kristia Andreou at Gloria Gallery.

Kristia Andreou is a painter of Cypriot and Bulgarian origin. She was born in Nicosia on February 19, 1994. She studied at the Cyprus Academy of Fine Arts in Limassol (2008-2010), obtaining the GCE in Fine Art. In 2012 she studied academic painting at the Bulgarian Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia. In 2016 she obtained a BA in Fine Arts from the University of the West of England in Bristol. Further, she obtained a Master degree of Fine Arts from Frederick University in Nicosia in a program based on Contemporary Art Practices (2016-2018).

Kristia as an artist likes to experiment with different materials and subjects. Her works take a critical look at social and cultural issues. In addition, her new series of works is inspired by memories and the human figure as the main protagonist. In this series of works, she uses oil paints on canvas.

The artworks in this exhibition, entitled "Nostalgia”, are a heartfelt exploration of memories, a theme he dealt with in depth from 2022 to 2024. Through these paintings, she invites each viewer to connect with their own personal experiences and reflections of remembrance as well as searches from the past with a beacon of the present in a vague horizon of thought. It looks beyond the obvious and seeks careful observation from viewers. The challenge is for viewers to create bridges with the past by calling to the surface of their minds their personal memories.

The painter's goal is to inspire those who see her work to look more closely at the world around them but also at their inner world for our lost innocence.

Exhibition duration 16.5 – 4.6.2024

Avyi Dikeou Kyriakidou works with embroidery as an art, a difficult and multifaceted task. Fabrics and their selection are only the first stage of the work. In addition to the inspiration that is primarily based on archaic patterns, other organic forms and nature, their transfer to fabric is a complex task. It takes a lot of study, drafts, choice of colors and materials, collected from many countries, threads, beads and collages. It still takes a long time of effort for each project. A key characteristic of textile prints is the three-dimensional structure and meticulous attention to detail.

Avyi Dikeou Kyriakidou was born in Nicosia, Cyprus in 1946.

After graduating from Kykkou High School she went to Manchester where she studied Art and Design at Manchester College of Art and Design (now Manchester University) specializing in Fashion and Textiles.

After completing her studies, she returned to Cyprus where she initially worked in the fashion industry. Then for eighteen years she taught art in Secondary Education.

In her spare time, she experimented with various techniques, such as still life painting and nude painting, but her main interest is textile artwork.

So far, she has presented her textile art in two solo exhibitions in Nicosia, Cyprus

And has also participated in several group exhibitions.

Her works are in private collections and in The Republic of Cyprus’s Art Collection.

On Thursday, April 4, at 7.30 pm His Beatitude Archbishop Georgios of Cyprus, will inaugurate the painting exhibition of Silia Philippou at Gloria Gallery. The exhibition is entitled “VIEWS AND OPINIONS 3”.

“Mother nature, the place where man feels comfortable, the element that accepts him as he is. Where he does not need to pretend his image and with the simplest attire, even naked, he feels comfortable. One with the environment. He swims, runs, shouts, throws stones into the sea, lies on the ground, does all kinds of madness, feels and rejoices because he feels the space is his own.”

In such an environment, Silia tries to transport us with her paintings to make us feel the emotion. The feeling and the belief that a part of the world belongs to us, that not everything is lost, that there is still hope.

Silia Philippou lives and works in Athens. She was born in Nicosia and studied Painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts in the workshop of Nikos Kessanlis in 1984-89. She also studied Art and Design at the Vakalo School. From 1990 to 2011 she was an Art teacher in Secondary Education. He is a member of E.E.T.E.

Christian W. Bertram - 2024 - Drawings on Cigarette Packets

Dimitris Alithinos exhibited for the first time in Nicosia in 1983 and since then he has been constantly present in the cultural development of Cyprus with exhibitions, cover-ups, lectures, publications, publications.

In the present exhibition, Dimitris Alithinos approaches the theme of love in a timeless and bold way, interpreting both its bright and dark sides.

Tenderness, rawness, pleasure and supplication mingle and emerge in twenty-one exquisite drawings and five paintings.

The works are creations of the last five years and are exhibited for the first time in Cyprus.

Duration: 6 - 30.3.2024

Christian W. Bertram - 2024 - Drawings on Cigarette Packets

Christian W. Bertram's work belongs to the European tradition of drawing as an independent genre and depicts Greek everyday life through an expressionist lens. In Bertram’s sixth exhibition in Cyprus, the drawings on cigarette packets also reflect a certain intention of the artist: that of not wanting passers-by or café regulars to notice that he is drawing them, thus keeping the spontaneity of the snapshot: not only was the packet hidden in the palm, but it also had a concealing lid.

Away from the trends of his time, Bertram emphasizes the human form, focusing on the search for an inner essence rather than producing a mere descriptive representation.

George Mavros - 2024 This is our Cyprus

Christian W. Bertram - 2024 - Drawings on Cigarette Packets

George Mavros - 2024 This is our Cyprus

George Mavros was always in touch with painting and the arts in general, using various materials such as copper, clay, marble, wood, and oil paints. He chose painting as an art form motivated by the colors and scenes from the Cypriot tradition.

He is inspired by the manners and customs of the last century, by the great holidays such as Easter "Lambri", Christmas, summer, harvest, weddings, and others. Also, from the mountains and the stables of the village, from songs, proverbs, and sayings.

George's painting is experiential and at the same time very narrative. The artist approaches tradition with respect and love. These feelings are reflected in his work. His painting has quite a lot of naive elements with a tendency to render the volume and generally the third dimension.

An element he often projects in the scenes he paints is humor. A sarcastic humor, since it springs from the sufferings of the common man, but also a peculiar, bitter humor that characterizes George himself. A joy that gives his work sincerity and humanity.

The works he will present are a work that thrives through emotions, memories and moods. Speaking about his works, he mentions "Painting with colored pencils and inks on paper pressed on wood. Don't like the word pressed? Stuck then ... so that they never separate. The setting up of the works in the space creates an adjacent landscape. The importance of recalling memory lies in the fact that it is likely to be instantaneous - product "

Andreas Efesopoulos - Amathus - Old Limassol

"But in my paintings, you will not see my dreams and my own associations but a clear representation of the source of information and inspiration. I try, if ever possible, to paint the swirling air, the light that illuminates, the earth that is shaken and the damage that, all together, they cause incessantly. Damage to stones often creates the most unexpected and complex formations in shape and surface. Even random assemblies resulting from all kinds of displacements are magical. The wild vegetation and the drastic and dramatic encounter of all the elements with the sky, the clouds, and the turbulent sea complete successive theatrical performances. I did what I could to give it live, so that they might be able to become a trigger or motivation for each viewer to make their own associations and myths."
