“Summertime” at Chili Art Gallery

Art curator Paris Kapralos, in collaboration with visual artists from Greece and abroad, invites you to visit the exhibition “Summer” and to honor the opening with your presence on Thursday, July 3rd, from 19:00 to 22:00. The exhibition takes place physically in Athens at the art venue Chili Art Gallery (13–15 Dimofontos St., Thiseio, Athens) and simultaneously online, in collaboration with ARTgrID. The exhibition explores the impressions of everyone’s favorite season of rest through the works of more than 30 visual artists. Visitors will see works of painting, sculpture, photography, collage, ceramics, constructions, and visual objects, making the visit to the exhibition a truly unique experience.

It is noted in the curatorial text: “Summer: the word that holds within it childhood memories, endless hours of carefree joy, the scent of the sea, and warm afternoons that seem to last forever. Summer holidays are not just a ‘pause’ from everyday life. They are a deeply human need – a vital antidote to the pace of modern living. Perhaps because those first childhood holidays gave us something indelible: the experience of freedom and discovery. According to Psychology, shared family experiences strengthen cohesion and reduce stress. And as adults too, summer offers us the luxury of ‘doing nothing’ without guilt, allowing us to reconnect with ourselves, nature, and others. It’s not laziness. It’s recharging. It’s a cultural asset. Perhaps the sweetest invention of modernity. Essential. Irreplaceable. Summer
