Giabouldaki’s approach is an almost alchemical one: The exhibition is composed of sculptures, installations, photographs and videos, which exude a strong sense of materiality, both individually and through the sum of their parts. The works are the result of the detailed investigation of the materials employed and their respective properties, their resistances and durability, as […]

The exhibition Sentenced to Life is composed of works in a variety of media, ranging from drawing, and photography to small-scale installations. The research carried out by the artist on species under extinction forms the starting point of the exhibition: The exploration of museum collections is followed by researching their databases, as well as the […]

Elika Gallery is pleased to present the second solo show of Dimitris Ameladiotis in Athens. Not only in this exhibition, but throughout his creative practice it is fruitful to approach his works in a manner that almost resembles an archaeological endeavor.

Two years after his last solo show, Man is an island, Chandris participation in a group show consisted of four open books made of cement. An intricate structure emerged from and sank back into the pages of the books. They were manuals for the construction of a shelter (bunker). In his new exhibition, these formulations […]

Here, Ioanna Ximeri replaces the medium of drawing with a peculiar process of deducting material from her paper (cut-out). The image is shaped […]

In a continuation of his previous work, Gokas explores issues that are in direct dialogue with the human nature and the daily routine. Repeatedly, almost obsessively, he returns to the same images again and again – a pillow, a blanket, a pavement, a church, a portrait, a curtain. Everything looks like a fragment of a […]

According to Picasso painting is “a means of attack and defense”. The drawings of Steven Harvey’s series “Old Age” are attacks on an enemy foisted upon us in a cruel and mocking way.
