A new exhibition titled “George Zongolopoulos: Familiar projects, sculptures from his home and studio” is currently taking place at the Roma Gallery in collaboration with the George Zongolopoulos Foundation. Curated by art historian Katerina Koskina, the exhibition will be running through February 29, showcasing for the first time many “widely unknown” sculptures of medium and small scale created by George Zongolopoulos, which had been in the artist’s company at his home and studio in Psychiko.

Bronze, stainless steel, Plexiglas are the media and raw materials of sculptures that have been crafted for some 50 years, covering different creative periods of the renowned sculptor. Thus, the exhibition could be seen as a projection of the evolution of the artist’s creative thinking that has transcended the century, while remaining classical in terms of technique and education and contemporary and modern in the integration of new challenges and methods into his work.

Even though Zongolopoulos is internationally renowned as a sculptor, he has never stopped painting and his evolution from realism to abstraction is also apparent in his paintings. Thus, the Roma Gallery exhibits include two paintings that the artist selected and produced in silkscreen, seeking to emphasize his long involvement with modernism as well as his path in abstraction and technology.

"Umbrellas," an emblematic installation series by Greek sculptor George Zongolopoulos (1903-2004), was installed a few days ago in Egypt, some 120 kilometers outside Alexandria, in an area where a new city is being built. The city will include a "Greek Village" inspired by the Aegean holiday island of Santorini. The project was commissioned by Dubai-based construction firm EMAAR, which became interested in the Greek artist’s work after seeing it featured in an article. The piece was put together in Athens and transported to Egypt.

Thessaloniki Umbrellas, Greece (The Zongolopoulos Umbrellas) Photo @h_aka_n https://cekergezer.com/selanik-semsiyeleri/ Aslında ne kadar da basit ve sade ama bir o kadar da dikkat çekici bir yapıt. Gerçekten de eseri yapan sanatçıyı takdir etmek gerek. İnternette Selanik Şemsiyeleri diye aratınca bulabildiğiniz ve fakat aslında eser sahibinin adıyla literatüre geçmiş bir yapıt. Selanik’i ziyaret eden her turistin altında fotoğraf çektirdiği, özellikle gün batımı manzaralarının nefes kestiği bir sanat eseri. Kim yapmış, niye yapmış, nasıl çekmeli hepsi https://cekergezer.com/selanik-semsiyeleri/ yazımda. #umbrella #rain #photography #zongolopoulos #photooftheday #sky #summer #Thessaloniki #travel #instagood #street #clouds #water #rainydays #nature #love #rainyweather #splash #cloudy #pouring #residentevil #puddle #parasol #umbrellas #art #gloomy #downpour #instarain #sun #Çekergezer (Zogolopoulou's Umbrellas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VMPHzqIKx/?igshid=14l436m8vhhb7
