"AIR, FIRE, WATER, EARTH"
2 - 22 February 2023
Natasa Govedarou, visual artist, curator and owner of Govedarou Art Gallery, organizes the group exhibition in the gallery space.The theme of this group exhibition is "Air, Fire, Water, Earth".The following text may facilitate the visual artist in the inspiration of the theme chosen for this exhibition.It is important to emphasize that this philosophy of the 4 elements of nature is found in all cultures deep in human history and is not limited only to the ancient Greeks.
The teaching and symbolism of the four elements is something that until recently caused laughter and ironic comments from researchers.Most people could not perceive the value of a symbology foreign to the logic of the 19th and 20th centuries, as rationalism had watered their minds.Allegories and symbolism for the 4 elements are found in numerous cultures throughout the earth.
According to the ontological theory of the four elements the whole world is fundamentally structured by four basic elements.From these, their interactions and mixtures are built all the material and immaterial, visible and invisible objects of the Universe.The four elements have the following names:
• the air
• the fire
• the water
• the earth
The terms refer to the corresponding physical concepts of fire, gases, water and earth, due to similar properties, but in reality these are supposed ontologically fundamental components of nature and not the familiar concepts of everyday life.

Govedarou Art Gallery presents the group art exhibition entitled: "THE DYNAMICS OF COLORS" curated by EKPA Art Historian, MA Journalist and member of AICA Greece, Nikolena Kalaitzakis.
The Art Historian and Curator of the exhibition, Nikolena Kalaitzakis, among others, notes:
"The exhibition, as its title betrays, seeks to highlight the Dynamics of Colors, through freely themed works, the connecting link of which is the exploitation, on the part of visual, vivid, intense colors. "Color", a structural element of Art, has accompanied the greatest movements since its beginnings. Ernest Schachtel's opinion is interesting, according to which: "the experience of color is similar to that of emotion or emotion. In both cases we tend to be passive receivers of stimuli. An emotion is not the product of the actively organizing mind. It just presupposes a kind of openness that, for example, a depressed person might not have. Emotion excites us in the same way that color excites us. The scheme, in contrast, seems to require a more active response. We detect the object, establish its structural framework, relate the parts to the whole. Similarly, the mind dominates impulses, applies principles, coordinates a variety of experiences, and decides upon a course of action."
