Accompanying Exhibition Catalogue to the Oct – Nov 2024 Hellenic Centre Exhibition, “Rena Papaspyrou: Images Through Matter”.
This exhibition marks the London debut of Rena Papaspyrou, one of Greece’s foremost post-war artists. Since the 1960s, Papaspyrou has drawn inspiration from the architecture of her Athens neighborhood, using found materials like bricks, tiles, mosaics, and sections of old walls. She enhances the natural cracks, dents, and marks with pencil and paint to create evocative images, sculptures, and installations.
Images Through Matter showcases Papaspyrou’s unique approach, featuring 22 representative works spanning from the 1970s to the present.
Dr. Nayia Yiakoumaki, Director of The Hellenic Centre, says, “This exhibition presents a significant body of work by a leading female European artist. We are immensely proud to introduce Rena Papaspyrou to the UK, aligning with our mission to bring the best of Greek culture to London.”
The exhibition is curated by Inês Costa, Curator, Focal Point Gallery and Dr. Nayia Yiakoumaki, Director, The Hellenic Centre, with Grace Strasen, Public Programme & Events Co-ordinator, The Hellenic Centre.
