This thing called art...

It's all about the art we have inside us, the things we perceive as being art, the places we travel through art... It's all about artistic intelligence and artistic nonsense, for that matter!

Exhibition: Art to feel proud of...


Greek contemporary artists are showcasing their love for their country's best asset... it's Sea! In the greek island of Poros, the picturesque gallery CITRONne is exhibiting the blue that each of these artists have in them. Among them is Maria Filopoulou with  her infamous "Swimmers",which after exhibitions in London, Paris and New York, they finally found their way home. Tasos Matzavinos, a true Greek, gives a darker note on his interpretation of Greece's heritage and focuses more on the traditional aspect that goes with it. Kostas Papanikolaou celebrates its light... its power of colour... un voyage dans le passe... while Nana Vetta uses waves to travel back to memory lane... The gallery is situated on a beautiful building of the 18th century on the promenade of the island. Even though it just had its one year anniversary, it has already gained an international momentum and loyal destination-art- travelers thanks to its Founder, Director and Art Historian Tatiana Spinari-Pollalis.
