Kikos Lanitis - Yannis Mihas. Two Aspects of the Abstract" is the title of the art exhibition that opens for one month in Vilnius, Lithuania on March 27. The exhibition, whuch takes place in the context of the events organized on the occasion of the Greek presidency in the EU, was also presented in Riga, Latvia. The exhibition is being organized by the Gallery of the City of Athens in cooperation with the Greek Embassy in Stocholm and the support of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture (Directorate of Educational Affairs) and the Ministry of Education and Culture of Cyprus. Artists Kikos Lanitis from Cyprus and Yannis Mihas from Greece are two painters with a long, creative course and an exclusively personal style, that have both contributed greatly to modern art and are very well-known in their countries, as well as overseas. The work of Kikos Lanitis, an important Cypriot artist of the 70s generation, reveals an endless curiosity on Art's expressive functions. His thirty years in the world of Art is characterized mainly by experimentations in the use of materials and his research for new methods and techniques. He is an artist who is extremely interested in the virtues and "poetry" of color. The artistic course and geometrical research of Yannis Mihas start with paintings that are deeply influenced by constructivism. His works of the first period consist of series of continuous shapes, standing out with additional color and depicting relevant contradictions and horizontal or vertical arrangements of parallelograms and circles, based on harmonious lines. The exhibition in Riga is being presented in Bastejs Gallery, one of the most significant of the Latvian capital, which belongs to the country's state University. Before Vilnius, the same exhibition was presented in Riga, Latvia, from February 17 to March 17. HB
