It was such a lovely experience to have hosted the exhibition 1:266 Leafart by mrk (artist: Mark Hellicar). The exhibition took place in October 2021.

With our sister company being an architectural lighting design firm, it was not coincidental that we chose Mark’s exhibition as our first hosting event at A+.

Mark is an architect and also a very talented artist. His concept for this exhibition really appealed to us not only because he has such beautiful pieces of work but also due to the concept of the exhibition being related to scale and architecture. His attention to detail makes his artwork quite unique and we loved that we could use our knowledge of lighting to showcase his fragile and delicate artwork.

Below you will find a beautiful description of the exhibition, in the words of the artist Mark Hellicar.

Mrk is an architect by day.

And so,

The evenings are, with the light fading,

every now and then,

about the carving of leaves.

These will focus on the unavoidable subject of scale.

Scale by virtue of size.

The scale of time.

Scale also by virtue of the depiction of

large ideas in a more manageable microcosm.

Many a subject is directly taken from

the annals of civilisation, religion, culture

and their expression within architecture.

Utilising the opportunity for specific light conditions

there is also a play with shadows

and their own exaggeration and distortion of scale.

The explosion of detail.

We invite you to come along

For a chance to

engage with these small creations and conversations,

the art interpretations.

A series of scenes on which life is played out,

utilising nothing but leaves,

a blade, light and

the rich resources of the visitor’s imagination.

When we were introduced to Riana Raouna, founder of the RIANA RAOUNA GALLERY, we knew this was an organization we would love to collaborate with.

Riana is a Contemporary Art Specialist, Curator and Art Writer. She has a background in marketing management but now runs the Riana Raouna Gallery.

In March of 2022 we hosted the Group Exhibition "Under the Same Sky”.

The exhibition presented works by 12 contemporary artists from all over the world and explored the feeling of nostalgia, either as a pure psychological condition or as remembrance of past landscapes and experienced events.

While each of the exhibited works was built around existing pillars of painting and sculpture, each of the artists adopts their unique artistic language which represents a fresh perspective in the world of Contemporary Art.

It truly was a lovely experience to host such beautiful and expertly curated artwork in our space for a few weeks.

The exhibition ran from 31st March – 20th April.

The Opening was on Wednesday 30 March

We were very excited to have hosted Yiannos Economou’s new video art and photography Exhibition "Therianthropes”.

The work consisted of six video screens playing in synchronicity with sound, and a small collection of photographs. The footage was shot in Cyprus, Bulgaria, and Iceland over 10 years, with a contribution from musician Galina Dimova – Georgieva and sound artist Patricia Jäggi, on two of the five acts. This is the first part of a diptych, with the second part taking place at the Knapp Gallery of the Regents University in London in November.

The exhibition ran from 27 April – 18th May.
