Going back in time with ceramics

Opening on Friday is the solo ceramics exhibition by Frosso Kapa at Art Studio 55 in Limassol at 8pm.

In this exhibition, which will remain on display until Sunday, Kapa will show her latest ceramic works, which may remind the viewer of ancient Greek pieces. She has been creating with ceramics for the past ten years, learning from ceramics artist Valentinos Haralambous. Today she has her own workshop at home.

Speaking about Kapa’s work, the architect Giannos Anastasiou said “ceramics seem to be the artistic medium that is most fitting for Frosso Kapa. In this collection she is very much inspired by ancient Cypriot vessels which use traditional motifs.

“Every piece is special and unique. They experiment with anthropomorphic vessels based in antiquity and more recent history of pottery in Cyprus. In experimenting with glazes of metal oxides and recipes using ashes, making her work have an immediate link with the natural elements and colours.”

Kapa had her first solo exhibition in 1996. She has also taken part in a number of group exhibitions in Cyprus and abroad.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
