Natasa Govedarou, visual artist, curator and owner of Govedarou Art Gallery, organizes the group exhibition 5th ArtExpo: "Opportunity4all" at the gallery space at G.Papandreou 5, in collaboration with ELEPAP in Thessaloniki (GREEK SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION AND REHABILITATION OF DISABLED PERSONS). The ArtExpo:”Opportunity4all” exhibitions, which always have a charitable character, return to the annual exhibition program of the gallery that started almost from the beginning of its establishment and has helped through Art Foundations and Organizations. This year will be the fifth year of the exhibition that will last the holiday season from December 12, 2024 to January 3, 2025 and part of the sales revenue will be given to support the ELEPAP Branch in Thessaloniki.
For 55 consecutive years, ELEPAP in Thessaloniki has been standing next to children and young people with disabilities in Northern Greece who are really in need.
The specialized staff of ELEPAP Thessaloniki continues seamlessly to offer comprehensive therapeutic, rehabilitative and educational programs of the highest quality, aiming to improve the everyday life of Brave Children and to achieve their autonomy.
The following is the statement of ELEPAP President, Pediatric Neurologist Dr. Helen N. Skoutelis:
"On behalf of all the members of the Board of Directors of ELEPAP, I would like to warmly thank Mrs. Natasa Govedarou for her kind initiative to organize at the Govedarou Art Gallery, another interesting group exhibition of works of art, in order to support the Branch of ELEPAP in Thessaloniki. ELEPAP will be close to Ms. Natasa Govedarou, supporting her great effort to collect and distribute works of art for a good cause. Art sensitizes and mobilizes people, stimulates the mind and emotion, shapes cultures and cultivates our mind and soul. It is very important that through the love for art, the long-term work of ELEPAP will be promoted and strengthened, specifically the ELEPAP Branch in Thessaloniki, which for 55 years, in the wider area of Northern Greece, embraces children and young people with disabilities."

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.”
