A collection depicts artistic history

The Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation in Nicosia will host an exhibition of contemporary Cypriot art as of tomorrow under the name Rooms to Contemplate: Content and Perspective of a Collection.

The exhibition, which is the first of its kind in the foundation’s history, will bring together works from the foundation’s significant private collection and work by artists of younger generations. These will include paintings, sculptures, constructions, photographs and videos and will trace the evolution of the history of art in Cyprus from the beginning of the previous century to the present day.

This first-time event is being organised to offer audiences the chance to view such artwork free of charge and also introduce them to contemporary art.
Rooms to Contemplate: Content and Perspective of a Collection is curated by Dr Savvas Christodoulides, Visual Artist and Assistant Professor at Frederick University.

Collector and publisher Nicos Pattichis will open the exhibition.

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.
