New art exhibitions reveal fresh strokes

February has welcomed a plethora of new exhibitions, dusting off the quiet winter. Several new showcases have recently opened around the island and as we move down the calendar, more exhibitions are set to open.

Apocalypse Gallery in Nicosia is currently hosting Vaso Thoupou’s exhibition O Siderenios Kiklos tis Zois with about 45 art pieces of various sizes. Featured in her work are tapestry pieces, printworks and some ceramics, which will remain in the gallery until February 24.

Also currently on in the capital city is a group exhibition at Marginalia Gallery. Titled Anthi & Karpoi, the exhibition showcases ceramic pieces by a number of Greek and Cypriot artists. Namely, participating in the exhibition until March 2 are Varnava Ourania, Gerontiti Dimitra, Dimitriou Vassos, Drapaniotou Mirka, Eustratiou Domniki, Kalvari Koula, Koropouli Charoula, Kosma Josephina, Morfi Dora, Panopoulou Kallia, Papaioannou Vasilis Perakis, Stavros, Tsirakoglou Dora, and Christopoulos Elias.
