CITRONNE Gallery brings together a multifaceted constellation of artists at booth L8 of Art Athina 2025. Established artists—pioneers who have shaped what we understand as contemporary in art today—enter into dialogue with emerging voices, coalescing into a shared whole. Through this presentation, the gallery affirms its commitment to the ongoing evolution of modern and contemporary Greek art, with a focus on the present moment.

Placed alongside historical works by artists whose practice has been marked by major international exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale, the São Paulo Biennale, and documenta 14 (G. Lappas, G. Bouteas, P. Charalambous, Y. Adamakos, P. Chandris), visitors will encounter within CITRONNE Gallery’s booth a wall installation conceived in the spirit of the salon (A. Ampariotou, D. Anastasiou, S. Gianakos, M. Ikonomopoulou, A. Kyriarinis, C. Mitrentse, N. Papakonstantinou, N. Podias, N. Sachini, M. Xanthopoulou).

By juxtaposing a historical exhibition model—one that evokes the intimacy of a domestic environment—with large-scale works, the gallery highlights the expansive way in which it envisions its artistic identity. Within this “mosaic-like,” multilayered installation, the multiplicity of artistic lineages emerges as a dynamic interplay of contrasts that ultimately resolves into a synthesis, a mnemonic atlas of relations, forms, and meanings. For CITRONNE Gallery, the breadth of these propositions, brought together at Art Athina 2025, constitutes a position in itself.

CITRONNE Gallery - Poros presents Yiannis Adamakos’s solo exhibition "In Between". One of the most distinguished figures in abstract Greek painting, Yiannis Adamakos creates indeterminate landscapes—reflections of a sensory world refracted through memory. He is deeply engaged in exploring the boundaries between explosion and calmness, light and darkness, spontaneity and order. He is particularly concerned with the rendering of emptiness, as a space imbued with richness of meaning and sensation.

"In Between" exhibition presents a new series of paintings and collages. These works are structured around vertical and horizontal axes that form an imagined grid. Adamakos is interested in the expressive geometrisation of space, which radiates a sense of inner balance—between the calm of the horizontal and the uplift of the vertical. Additionally, his paper compositions take the form of idiosyncratic collages that involve the act of destruction and emphasise the power of gesture.

Stratifications – Transformations

Stratifications – Transformations
June 13 – September 21, 2025
Archaeological Museum of Poros

CITRONNE Gallery in collaboration with the Ephorate of Antiquities of Piraeus and Islands co-organises and co-curates Yannis Bouteas’s exhibition "Stratifications – Transformations" at the Archaeological Museum of Poros. Art historian Dr. Tatiana Spinari-Pollali and archaeologist Dr. Maria Giannopoulou co-curate the exhibition.

"Stratifications – Transformations" is an exhibition that focuses on the concept of timelessness. Bouteas's objects-symbols, coming directly from everyday life, start a dialogue with the ancient objects of the archaeological museum, and may initially surprise the visitor. A man of antiquity would probably feel a similar surprise if he saw his personal objects in the museum displays today, accompanied by scientific theories and (mis)interpretations.

Bouteas's installation ultimately seems like an unexpected preview of an archaeological museum of the - perhaps not so distant - future.

CITRONNE Gallery – Athens presents "Colour Red", a solo exhibition by Alekos Kyrarinis, opening on Thursday, June 5. The exhibition features works created over the past two years and marks a new chapter in the artist’s ongoing exploration of form and symbolism.

In his own words: "In my new exhibition, entitled "Colour Red", I am trying to find a new creative condition, a tactical move to restore the artist’s love for this primary colour itself. Visitors will come across figures, angels, dragons, abstract or less abstract compositions. They will encounter works that oscillate between the heights and the depths of an artistic behaviour whose sole objective is a mature, almost conclusive art that strays, at the same time, towards the foundational, the new, and the playful - just like a child who prefers to draw with one colour only."

CITRONNE Gallery presents Christina Mitrentse’s solo exhibition "Wood Wide Web". The gallery space is transformed through the artist’s painting and sculptural installation into a peculiar forest environment, where visitors are invited to enter.

Christina Mitrentse is an interdisciplinary artist who incorporates elements from her research in forestry and mycology into her practice. In recent years, her work has revolved around the physical axis and the conceptual chain "Forest – Tree - Trunk - Paper - Book - Fungus - Mycorrhiza - Decomposition - Regeneration", which she initiated in London in 2005. The exhibition "Wood Wide Web" incorporates all the creative manifestations of the same theme. Mitrentse’s forest is composed of paintings and sculptures made from old books, collages of "controversial" books and, likewise, poisonous mushrooms, tree-trunk seats where mushroom-books sprout from.

CITRONNE Gallery – Athens presents the solo exhibition-installation "Asterisks in my Mouth" by Myrto Xanthopoulou. “The asterisks that reside in the mouth are only a few millimeters away from the light and a few millimeters away from the darkness.” This is how Myrto Xanthopoulou explains the title of her exhibition.

Language serves as the conceptual and tangible foundation of her works—whether implicitly or as a direct record of a living expression, yet without a coherent thread. It is, therefore, an explicit language, a composition of scattered sounds and images—elements that immerse the viewer in the structured “confusion” of our times. At the same time, there is a visible effort, at times even a struggle, to find meaning between the two lived languages (Finnish and Greek) that have shaped the artist’s identity.
