"Get some fresh look", "GET SOME FRESH ART", "Get some fresh ideas", "Get us a fresh, brand new world"…
Slogans that overrun the contemporary man highlighting not only the prevailing commands of modern society, but also the innate human necessity for renewal and fresh beginnings in every aspect of his life. The english word "FRESH", when translated in greek has one more interpretation, characterizing something as vivacious and youthful. This essential meaning of the word "FRESH" is the semantic cell of the creations and quests of the artists that take part in the team exhibition: "GET SOME FRESH ART". The exhibition opens on Thursday the 16th of June at "ASTROLAVOS dexameni" Art Gallery (Xanthippou 11, Kolonaki, tel: 210 7294342, 3, fax: 210 7293317, www. astrolavos.gr). The participating artists are: Nikos Alexiou, Angelos Antonopoulos, Alexandros Vasmoulakis, Yiorgos Golfinos, Panagiotis Drantakis, Paula Lakah, Maria Maroudi, Kostas Bobos, Dimitris Mitaras, Alexandra Nasioula, Xristina Papageorgiou, Faidon Patrikalakis, Eleni Pavlopoulou, Fotis Pehlivanidis, Sofia Simaki, Kostas Tsoklis, Manolis Haros, Yioula Hatzigeorgiou. The artist's bar is a creation of the architect Stelios Hatzilidis.
At a first level some artists have transferred at their creations' visual frame, the "stylish", "modern" view, either for the man's appearance and his lifestyle, or for the design of objects and principles of everyday life that surround him, or for a different, "fresh" look at the world itself.
At a second level, some other exhibits bring the "freshness" that nature and natural elements give off – either painted, or in a primary form, with minimum elaboration from the artist.
At a third level, the idea of fresh and freshness come to the fore through the same technique characteristics of some exhibits.
Can forms, colors, creation and making of an art piece bring out and pass to the viewer this sensation? To this question are asked to reply young and elder artists, because we believe that youth, freshness, optimism, "positive way of thinking and acting" is not a privilege just for young people, but also for everyone that feels young in his sole.
Is art able to renew itself, along with the artist and the viewer? Can a renewal semantic frame work vice-versa? Does the attempt of the artist to create a fresh art piece influence his psychology too? We hope that this exhibition through its art pieces will answer to the questions above.

Duration of the exhibition: until 2nd of June.
