On Wednesday the 20th of October at 19.30 starts at the
offices of the Greek Company of Management of Firms ( Avenue
Ionias 200 & Iakovaton 60, Patisia, tel.210-2112000)
an exhibition of painting of NIKOLETTA ANTONOPOULOU with
the title:"In the overtone of the Olympic Games".
This exhibition is a beginning of a series of artistic demonstrations
of EEDE at its offices that will be organized by the Art
Galleries "ASTROLAVOS" as part of their program
"Art in working places".
Antonopoulou has been working through the last few years
on athletic subjects ("Horse races", "Races
with motorcycles", "Sailing"e.t.c.) and other
athletes in full action. With her quick and dynamic hand
with an intense expressionistic abstractive glance she manages
to give in a unique way the movement, the tension, the reaching
of a peak, the finishing, the greatness of the fair competition.
In this exhibition almost 60 paintings made of oil, temper,
water-colours that show Olympic sports will make the visitor
feel once more the magic spirit and the excitement of the
games and to sense the power of her artistic hand. The variety
of her colours is rich and full of light (as such a theme
requires), the way she uses her paint-brush is quick and
extensive almost reaching the borders of expressive writing
is showing the ability of the painter to create works with
the tension and the vivality of the scenes and the moments
that she pictures.
A small group of paintings which was recently made and accompanies
the exhibition , shows swarms of birds when flying ( emigrating
birds leaving for foreign destinations) is included in order
to express the sense of departure and missing of all these
people(athletes and spectators)that had been in Athens for
the Olympic Games. That way she shows in a metaphorical
artistic way "the overtone of the Olympic Games"
The exhibition lasts until the 30th of November.
