Artists are the New Athletes

The Edit Gallery in Limassol is pleased to announce its inaugural exhibition “Artists are the new Athletes” on Sunday 20th of January at 5:00pm.

The Edit Gallery is a contemporary art gallery which serves as a platform for innovative and edgy artists, both local and international, to showcase their work. By presenting solo and group shows with a focus on contemporary, emerging art and thematic group exhibitions, it aims to create opportunities and support the wide-ranging potential of new talents as well as foster the evolving practice of established artists from around the globe.

Through its inaugural exhibition "Artists are the new Athletes", The Edit gallery wants to highlight the fact that success in the art world does not only stem from the necessary skills and knowledge that artists inherently possess, but rather, that success comes through a combination of those skills with certain character qualities that are also directly related to athletes, such as discipline, dedication and strong will.

Prominence in art, as well as in sports, requires training, mental strength and spiritual balance so that the artist, much like the athlete, can reach high levels of excellence. The exhibition features 13 artists from both Cyprus and abroad. Each artist has contributed work of recent personal creation, which serves as in independent unit in the context of an overall group exhibition.

Participating artists: Alec Cumming (UK), Alejandra Atarés (ES), Andreas M. Georgiou (CY), Athina Frenaritou (CY), Daphne Christoforou (CY), Eleni Phyla (CY), Fatma Shanan (IL), John Paul Fauves (CR), Michaela Yearwood Dan (UK), Nikos Gyftakis (GR), Rania Bellou (GR), Spok Brillor (ES) and Vanessa Prager (US).
