The Artshot – Sophia Gaitani Gallery is thrilled to invite art lovers to a groundbreaking exhibition by Anastasia Kaskaveli, a young Greek-American visual artist whose talent transcends her years. Titled “Color-Coaster,” this exhibition marks Anastasia’s first solo showcase and promises to deliver a vibrant, emotional journey through the artist’s bold, contemporary work.
Opening on Friday, September 13, 2024, from 6 pm to 10 pm, the exhibition invites you to step into a world where passion and chaos intertwine on the canvas. Kaskaveli, a high school student with a radiant artistic spirit, utilizes the drip-painting technique made famous by Jackson Pollock. In Color-Coaster, she brings this dynamic style to life, allowing gravity, movement, and raw emotion to guide the flow of paint. The result is a sensual, unpredictable rhythm that mirrors the natural ebb and flow of life itself.
Each piece in Color-Coaster is more than just art—it is a cathartic release of emotion. Her work pulses with energy, capturing a moment frozen in time, where paint drips and splashes in a wild, unrepeatable rhythm. Kaskaveli’s technique embraces spontaneity and chance, offering viewers raw, unfiltered expressions of emotion in every drip and splash of color.
Color-Coaster represents a major milestone in Anastasia’s artistic journey. Like many, Anastasia experienced the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic during her elementary school years, where the isolating days of lockdown left a lasting impact. Yet, her creative energy found an outlet through art. Her early abstract compositions, filled with bold contemporary colors, reflected both the strange confinement of the time and her longing for nature and freedom.
This love for vibrant, modern hues continues to shape her work today. Her latest series, “Flows of Love,” which will be featured in this exhibition, is a celebration of transformation. Painted with brushes, palette knives, and flowing acrylics, Kaskaveli’s canvases are adorned with pearls in various colors, adding a touch of delicate luxury against dark, textured backgrounds. Each painting reveals the artist’s belief that challenges, no matter how daunting, can lead to the creation of something beautiful.
Visitors to the exhibition will be struck by the balance between chaos and beauty—a reflection of Anastasia’s optimistic outlook on life. Her art reminds us that even in life’s darkest moments, there is always the potential for hope, love, and creativity.
The exhibition will continue on Saturday, September 14, 2024, from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm at the Artshot Gallery, located at 11 Lebesi Street, Acropolis, Athens. The gallery’s intimate yet modern atmosphere provides the perfect space for Anastasia’s work, allowing each canvas to be appreciated for its emotional depth and expressive power.
Whether you are an experienced art enthusiast or simply looking for an inspiring experience, Color-Coaster is an exhibition not to be missed. Come immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of Anastasia Kaskaveli’s art and witness the rise of a young artist who is just beginning to make her mark on the art world.
