Two established artists come together at Uni.Versus Art Room, universus_gallery, in an exhibition that explores the relationship between sculpture and art jewelry through a shared sensitivity to materiality, memory, and the handmade process.
In this photo, work by Marilena Michopoulou, who is one of the leading figures of contemporary Greek ceramics, with a career spanning more than three decades dedicated to the exploration of volume, structure, and the relationship between the artwork and space. The works presented in this exhibition, created from stoneware ceramics, glazes, icon-painting pigments, bronze, and silver, reflect a profound understanding of materials and their expressive potential.
The characteristic incisions and blue pathways that unfold across the surfaces of her works evoke the presence of an internal system of organizationβa structure that permeates the volume and connects the individual element to the whole. The incorporation of metal and gilded surfaces introduces additional layers of materiality, highlighting the dialogue between ceramic tradition and contemporary sculptural practice.
Through her long-standing educational activity at the Ceramic Forms studio, as well as her participation in significant exhibitions and events in Greece and abroad, Michopoulou has established herself as an important reference point within contemporary Greek ceramics.
In this exhibition, her jewelry appears as a natural extension of her sculptural investigation: works on a smaller scale that retain the same structural thinking, material sensitivity, and commitment to the expressive qualities of matter.
