IYP X The Hellenic Centre, London

This exhibition marks the London debut of Rena Papaspyrou, one of Greece’s foremost post-war artists. Since the 1960s, Papaspyrou has drawn inspiration from the architecture of her Athens neighborhood, using found materials like bricks, tiles, mosaics, and sections of old walls. She enhances the natural cracks, dents, and marks with pencil and paint to create evocative images, sculptures, and installations.

Dr. Nayia Yiakoumaki, Director of The Hellenic Centre, says, “This exhibition presents a significant body of work by a leading female European artist. We are immensely proud to introduce Rena Papaspyrou to the UK, aligning with our mission to bring the best of Greek culture to London.”
