“Witnesses” by “4:4”

«4:4» art group presents the exhibition “Witnesses” in Larnaca, Cyprus, from the 15th January to the 2nd February.

Artists John Warren, Thekla Papadopoulou, Elena Tsigaridou and Ioanna Kythreotou present 4 different approaches of our world, through a common journey to discover it.

To each one of them, all art teachers at the American Academy of Larnaca, Art is a continuous route to self-improvement and self-realization.

The works of Thekla Papadopoulou and John Warren reflect the splendor and specificities of landscapes. The immersive portraits painted by Elena Tsigaridou reveal a world of personal specificities, alienation and completeness at the same time. Last but not least, the glass creations of Ioanna Kythreotou, project a priceless innerness, since each one of them works as a reflection of human curiosity as well as a window to the world.
