The Deputy Minister of Culture Mr. Yannis Toumazis addressed the opening of the retrospective exhibition "Christoforos Savva: Unbound" held yesterday at the Hellenic Centre of London.
In his address, he indicated, among other things, that the works presented in the exhibition "echo the enormous impact the city had on the artist and the ways in which he continued to approach his unique practice, influencing generations of Cypriot artists to this day. Widely recognised as one of the leading figures in Cypriot art, Savva helped shape the contemporary cultural face of the island, still, despite his remarkable legacy, provoking new questions about his work and his historical era as well as the complexities of Cypriot modernity. In this sense, Savvas' activity and work still seem surprisingly relevant."
The exhibition, curated by Marina Christodoulides, was attended by, among others, the Consul General of the Republic of Cyprus in the United Kingdom, Mr. Odysseas Odysseos. The event is under the auspices of the High Commissioner of Cyprus in London Mr. Andreas S. Kakouris.
