VANDALIZE: PAPARAZZI’S SOLO EXHIBITION IN NICOSIA

Following last week’s Art Happening in Limassol, the popular street artist Paparazzi moves part of his new series of works to Nicosia in a solo exhibition at Alpha C.K. Art Gallery at a solo exhibition “VANDALIZE” which opens on Friday, April 12th.

Achilleas Michaelides, widely known by the artistic pseudonym Paparazzi, is one of the most prominent street artists in Cyprus. With his works serving as landmarks in many cities across Cyprus and Europe, he has become an integral part of the global urban street art scene.

While most of his creations are large-scale murals painted on the urban landscape, the variety of his art is not limited to this. His solo exhibition reveals an impressive multidimensional artist who, apart from graffiti, also creates works on canvas using acrylics and spray paint.

The exhibition showcases well-known paintings and sculptures by renowned artists which Paparazzi “vandalizes” to create a unique and stunning result, combining surrealism with realistic elements. With the diversity of his art, Paparazzi opens new paths and creates a rich and different dialogue with the audience, offering a wide range of impressions and emotions. The complexity of his art challenges viewers, prompting them to explore the messages and ideas embedded in his works.

Paparazzi was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 1982, and grew up in Thessaloniki. For the past twenty years, he has been living and working in Cyprus.

The exhibition starts on Friday, April 12th, and will last until April 27th. For more information, contact the Alpha C.K. Art Gallery at telephone +357 22751325 and email info@ackgallery.com. The catalog of the works is posted on www.ackgallery.com.
