BREATHING COLOURS @ BELGRAVIA GALLERY

«Breathing Colours» London debut exhibition by up and coming Greek artist Harikleia Papapostolou will open on Tuesday, May 12th, at 18.00 to 21.00 at Belgravia Gallery, 23 Maddox Street, W1, in the heart of the West End art district and will last until Saturday, May 16.

Best-selling author Victoria Hislop, whose writings and their television adaptations have celebrated the essence of society and culture in Greece, has agreed to open the first London exhibition by one of that country’s most exciting artists, Harikleia Papapostolou.

Victoria Hislop is an enthusiast for the works of Harikleia Papapostolou, who has earned admiring coverage in the Greek press and is beginning to attract increasing attention elsewhere in Europe.

"I love Harikleia’s work,” said Mrs Hislop. “Her use of texture, movement and colour is really exceptional. But as important as her technique is her passion, which I see in every piece that she creates. Harikleia is a very talented artist and I am very proud to own one of her paintings. It fills the room with light and energy.”

Harikleia Papapostolou is being introduced to discerning

audiences by London art consultant Diane Soames.

"Ms Papapostolou’s large canvases, which are as striking as the brilliant light of the Greek mainland and islands while avoiding any shadow of pictorial cliché, enthral her viewers. While expressing her own feelings through her harmonised abstract forms, Harikleia prefers viewers to make their own interpretations, but does insist that her projects symbolise life itself in its constant motion, its pulsating and illuminated striving for continuity. “There is no need to try to understand a work of art: we can just feel it,” she says. "Her use of abstraction serves her need for freedom of expression, and in this way her works acquire their own autonomy."

"I love color and I need it in my life," Ms Papapostolou declares.

And its obvious that this particular artist lives and breathes through the special gift of nature, color.
