From Thursday, October 10 until Saturday, November 2, Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti Gallery will be hosting more than ten creations by Christos Antonaropoulos, presented in a personal exhibition under the title “Blue lights, emotions, stories”.

The artist’s intense symbolisms are underlined by metal, plexiglass and led lighting. Inspired by mythology and Art History, Christos Antonaropoulos takes us on a tour through his unique, personal world, using light as his main element with an expressionistic, pop disposition.

The exhibition is a follow-up of the artist’s successful participation in Art Athina 2019, where he presented his works «Rusty Rembrandt» and «Captive Caryatid» at Booth E6 of Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti Gallery.

Vasiliki Sianti, Managing Director of the Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti Gallery, expresses her enthusiasm for this particular exhibition, stating:

“Even though I have come to know Christos Antonaropoulos only recently, I dare say he is an artist of the soul, with a deep love for what he is doing. I was especially impressed by his love for the baroque artists of the 16th and the 17th century. As he himself describes it, he is inspired by the ‘light’ in their work and he aspires to present this beauty of the light in his own, unique way. His works have a special glow of their own, but sometimes they also transmit a kind of sweet melancholy, as he has revealed to me during our discussions.  The artist uses ‘blue’ (one of most famous colors in art) in order to transmit to the viewer the sense of light in a magical way. During the Art Athina 2019, I had the honor of presenting his work, which gave me the opportunity to draw from his creations as much energy as I could. I also had the joy of sharing with Christos our common love for Art History, as well as our common goal of transfusing this love to the public in a contemporary point of view.”
