Aigaia School of Art and Design invites you to the Annual Exhibition of its Young Artists, which takes place between the 6th and 30th April 2024.

Wander in between colours, brushstrokes, sculptures, ceramics, paintings, photographs, characters, objects, stories. Children demonstrate creativity in a truthful and unspoiled manner, something essential in finding solutions for today’s challenges.

All our children groups had the opportunity to work in our specialised studios and workshops in rotation, resulting in their experiencing a range of the Art, Design and media pathways. The exhibition reflects their spherical visual understanding, which they have ultimately developed. Our young artists demonstrated their creativity in a truthful and unspoiled manner, something essential in finding solutions for today’s challenges.

Our purpose is always to highlight the importance of the cultural cultivation that unfolds when growing up with the arts as part of everyday life, as well as the appreciation cultivated of the visual arts, as an element of culture. Via the various activities we challenge the children’s awareness, pushing them to spontaneously imprint their surroundings. To express their inner world, to record experiences, moments and encounters, to develop critical thinking, to propose solutions.

During the exhibition, a free educational program will be offered for children in primary education, which can be attended by school classes with their teachers as well as families. 

The educational nature of the exhibition, gives educators and families the opportunity to visit with various age groups and ‘discover’ themes, ideas and meanings, offering an exciting educational experience to children.

Opening Event: Saturday 06th April 2024 @6:00pm
Duration: 06 – 30.4.24
Visiting hours: Monday – Saturday (during our working hours)

Visual Arts Exhibition at Aigaia

2 – 17 February 2024

Opening: Friday, 2 February @20:00

The exhibition will showcase the final major projects of the second year students of the Visual Arts program at Aigaia School of Art and Design. It is a unique opportunity to discover the variety of artistic expressions that have emerged from the students personal creative journies. Each work is the outcome of an individual and unique creative exploration, showcasing a distinctive viewpoint and artistic expression.

By exploring contemporary art themes in visual arts our second year students engage with subjects reflecting the complexities of our modern world. Themes such as identity, freedom of speech and other political, personal and societal issues become canvases for exploration. The use of multidimensional approaches and interactiveness redefine traditional boundaries, inviting viewers to question and engage actively with the artwork. The students examine cultural shifts, political landscapes and also their personal narratives. This exploration not only emphasises on the spirit of time but also challenges preconceived notions, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. As a result, visual arts reflect contemporary realities and become catalysts for thoughtful discussions and societal self-reflection.

The exhibition will also showcase pieces from the rest of the students and also from adults exploring various art disciplines, materials, and techniques. From experimenting with different mediums to finding their unique artistic language, all students contribute to a dynamic and inclusive display, reflecting the richness of their creative explorations.

The exhibition will open on Friday, 2 February 2024 @20:00, at our premises in 81, Agion Omologiton Str.

The exhibition will be open from Monday – Saturday 2 – 17 February 2024, during school’s working hours.

Anna Alexandrou Art Exhibition, 6-28 May 2023

7 April, 2023 no responses

«A line, some colour, a random path. A journey has just begun! A search for the soul, a world, an image… Various materials becoming one, trying to fit, to write a course, a line… a life. Through my work, I try to express my thoughts, feelings and concerns. For me this is a game of composition, colour, material, emptiness and fullness on a surface. I experiment with different materials, like fabrics, paper, threads, sewing, letters, words, symbols and anything that helps me to visually compose what I am trying to say.» (Anna Alexandrou, 2015)

The exhibition of the visual artist Anna Alexandrou, which will take place from 6-28 May 2023, at aigaia art gallery, aims to reintroduce Anna’s artworks to the public, as an important contemporary visual artist of Cyprus, with a selection from all of her works.

Her work – purely personal – is an illustrated journey of her experiences, which, through various symbolisms, tell her story. Her work is accessible and multi-layered providing both visual satisfaction and a reason for dialogue, something that the creator herself always sought.

“Painting is not made to decorate apartments. It’s an offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy”.

Pablo Picasso

Our planet is in danger and calls for its salvation. Art and culture are our dominant weapons. For what other way is there to arouse environmental awareness if not with colours and shapes? After all, it’s a matter of aesthetics.

Have you ever examined your children’s paintings? There is always a bright sun, tall, green trees and colourful flowers. It’s common for them to depict a clean, pure and happy environment; as it should be. Maybe they are trying to tell us something. Through their art we see the perfection of nature; a nature that prospers and at the same time lies at risk by us humans. Perhaps this happens because we often forget that WE are nature. We can’t be detached from it. So if we have lost our connection with nature, then, we have actually lost connection with ourselves (Andy Goldsworthy).

This year, Aigaia’s young artists are determined to trigger our awareness through their artwork. Beginning with a retrospect to the onset of the planet, they observe the present and the ways human has contributed to nature’s alterations and they finally suggest their own solutions for an ideal future world. They stimulate us to work collectively and maybe teach us how to love our planet without destroying it.
