Description

Artist Marlen Karletidou will present her new collection of drawings and paintings under the name Between Illusion and Reality as of Friday at the Diatopos Centre of Contemporary Art in Nicosia.

In this collection, Karletidou steps back from the mixture of materials and techniques used in her previous works to present a simpler collection of pieces. In this way the artist is able to portray the essence of things, rather than convey to us a visual interpretation of images and ideas. A major focus is the artist’s experimentation with three-dimensional figures and her use of the circle. Colours and colour tones are clear and more transparent in an attempt to lead the viewer into a space where matter and the spirit exist as one.

Karletidou, from Nicosia, studied Fine Arts at the Athens School of Fine arts. She has been running her workshop for children and teenagers since 1987 and she has had 17 solo exhibitions in Cyprus and Germany.

The exhibition opens on Friday, February 9th at 20:00
