Manolis Haros: The exhibition «Retrospective August» at Follow Your Art gallery

Follow Your Art Gallery presents the solo exhibition of Manolis Charos, entitled ”August Retrospectiva - Retrospective August” at its space in Kapsali Kythera.

In the exhibition ‘August Retrospectiva - August Retrospective’, we will come in contact with the artist's works that have been created over 30 years in Kythera.

The spirit of the place and the month of August is reflected in the artist's visual writing, as it is shaped through time with the use of engraving and painting.

The opening of the exhibition, with works signed by Manolis Haros, will take place on Monday 5 August at 21:00 and the exhibition will run until 15 August.
