Natasa Govedarou, visual artist, curator and owner of Govedarou Art Gallery, is organizing the solo exhibition of the visual artist Katerina Polyzoidis-Mavroleon at the gallery’s space at G.Papandreou 5. The opening will take place on Tuesday, November 12th and will last until November 29th . It is a retrospective exhibition entitled “HOMECOMING”. The artist, with origins from Thessaloniki, today lives and works in Athens. However, she nostalgically always remembers Thessaloniki, and this is how this exhibition was organized so that the public here in Thessaloniki would have the opportunity to see her works of art up close. A career diplomat, Katerina Polyzoidis-Mavroleon, developed in parallel from 1999, a discreet, visual activity, amateur at first, which - however - she later supported with a serious theoretical education. (Vakalos School in Athens, St. Martin's School of Art and Design, London, watercolor seminars with the watercolorist James Foot.) . She began by creating illustrated diaries and cartes postales, an activity she continues to this day. Very quickly, however, watercolor won her over. Cheerful watercolors, full of light and color. Old mansions, Regattas and shells, sensitive works, which provoke the emotional participation of the viewer. She later continued with acrylics on canvas, mixed media, collage and water oil. She collaborated for years with the art space Athiniotakis, Benakis, Mati in Spetses where she exhibited her works on a permanent basis. For several years now,she has also been cooperating with the ATRIO store on Voukourestiou Street. She held 7 solo exhibitions in Greece and Paris and participated in more than 50 exhibitions in Greece, France and Italy. Her works are in the Tsichritzi Museum, the Athiniotaki Art Space in Spetses, the ATRIO in Bucharest and in many private collections in Greece and abroad.
Art historian Mrs. Christina Sotiropoulou wrote about the visual art and tells us indicatively:
"...The color evolves into the mito that organically connects the different phases of the creator's searches, acting as a touchstone that achieves and unites in a homogeneous set of watercolors, oils or digital compositions, traces of the paths followed by the constant awakening of her artistic identity. Through the constant changes of her expressive means, the creator allows herself to be whirled in their charming marriage with a rich but particularly demanding subject matter that equally manages Mediterranean landscapes, seascapes, still lives but also majestic expressionist abstract compositions, imprints of extensive searches in the unconscious. By following these parallel thematic paths, the viewer becomes a participant in her cosmopolitan gaze, a concentration of her countless professional and personal journeys, participating in the eternal dialogue in which Katerina Polyzoidis-Mavroleon engages incessantly with the world around her and within her. As a result of both her genuine color instinct and fruitful interaction with the work of great artists such as Matisse and Dyfy is her complete control of color, combined with a touch so energetic that it often recalls the gestural painting of Pollock and de Kooning, however avoiding the explosive violence that characterizes their writing.”

Natasa Govedarou, visual artist, curator and owner of Govedarou Art Gallery, organizes the solo exhibition of the well-known and former painter Sophocles Koutris entitled "Apokries and Everyday Life" at the gallery space at G.Papandreou 5. A special exhibition mainly about Greek Halloween , but also some of his latest creations which starts on Thursday, February 22nd and will last until March 7th.
Sofokles Koutris graduated from the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1964. He has been awarded for composition in color copper engraving, composition in copper engraving and nude in copper engraving. This is a visual artist who served the art non-stop and taught it in universities and colleges for many decades. In the works that will be presented in his solo exhibition mainly on the theme of Greek Halloween, there is a strong element of movement and bright colors. The emotion and happy mood that the carnival-goers feel over the frenzy of revelry is reflected on their faces. Spaniels, harlequins, lampshade costumes, pavilions, butterflies, pirates and Chinese girls join the parade and the carnival begins with the carnival driver "opening" the way!
