CONTEMPORARY ART Athens Greece 2024

In the heart of Athens’ bustling business district, amidst the vibrant energy of the city, ‘Andie Art’ has blossomed into a luminous beacon of creativity. Nestled within a contemporary Art Space spanning two floors, this sanctuary of artistic expression captivates the soul. Just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Athens Tower, ‘Andie Art’ invites patrons on a journey through realms of imagination and inspiration. Here, amid the pulsating heartbeat of Athens, the fusion of art and culture ignites the spirit, weaving a tapestry of boundless creativity that enchants all who wander through its doors.

Our upcoming Maonki Art Exhibition featuring works of Sylvia Gatz (Forms and Colours), Andreja Soleil (Fairy Tales), Mats Kade (Abstracts), and Clemens Voigt (Wild Wood Sculptures) at the Andie Art Gallery in Athens. We look forward to welcoming supporters of Arts to experience this extraordinary art show in Greece. The exhibition will take place from 06 – 29 February 2024 and presents works by specially selected contemporary artists.

EXHIBITED ARTISTS

Andreja Soleil Fairy Tales (2023) sold

Andreja Soleil is particularly moved by the constantly changing dynamics of the ocean along the Fischland-Darß peninsula. She has found her personal place of strength in this Baltic landscape. Nature always paints along with her. Her neo-impressionist painting style lives strongly from waves, spray and the sea.

Landscapes of a completely different kind can be found on the artist’s large-format canvases, which are created in her studio. Fairy tales and myths have accompanied her since early childhood. Woven materials in which the boundaries of reality, dream and fiction blur, overlap, unite – Other Worlds.

Andreja Soleil lives and works in Leipzig, Germany and Mallorca, Spain.

Mats Kade "In Process" Mixed Media, Oil and Acrylic on Canvas. 100 x 100 cm, 2023

MATS KADE

Grooves and driving rhythms inspire Mats Kade’s creative process. His paintings correspond strongly with the unconscious and enter into dialogue with the viewer. While he primarily paints meditatively during the day, he creates excessive abstract works at night.

The painter works with many technically divergent layers. An interplay of free, uncontrolled movement and phases of reduction and control characterises his painting style.

Mats Kade lives and works in Dresden, Germany.

Sylvia Gatz „I’ll be you“ Acrylic on Canvas. 70 x 100 cm, 2024

Sylvia Gatz, an outstanding painter, captivates viewers with her unique works, which represent a fascinating fusion of realism and abstraction. Through her masterful use of colours and forms, she lends her paintings a sensual depth and emotional resonance. Her paintings evoke associations with expressionist painting by Gabriele Münter, Paula Modersohn-Becker or Der Blaue Reiter. At the same time, the painter always remains authentic in her impasto and spatula-applied painting style. Sylvia Gatz does not allow herself to be forced into academic norms or classical rules. Socio-political as well as sociological aspects always flow into her human-looking “animal portraits” with a certain wink.

Sylvia Gatz lives and works in Leipzig, Germany.

Clemens Voigt. Sir (2021). Wild wood sculpture. 166 x 25 x 15 cm

CLEMENS VOIGT

“Carving a sculpture is like a love story.”

Wood Artist Clemens Voigt is a true storyteller of wild wood found in the forest and transformed into magnificent wooden sculptures. Layer by layer he exposes the finest structures, carving, sanding and polishing until they come to life. Clemens is reading wood like a book. Layer by layer – page by page – the forest tells his own story.

After travelling the world, the multi-talented artist founded a musical instrument trading company. He is also head and organiser of the international Ancient Trance Festival. For him, wood carving is a balance between music world and being a Outdoorsman. Clemens Voigt lives and works in Leipzig, Germany.
