Valentino Vassiliou presents ''The Double Edge of Modernity'' Exhibition in Limassol, Cyprus

Limassol’s HAUTEART Gallery is about to become the stage for a compelling confrontation — between light and shadow, flesh and machine, the visible and the veiled.

In The Double Edge of Modernity, the latest solo exhibition by Valentinos Vassiliou, modern life is not merely represented — it is dissected.

Running from 25 September to 9 October 2025, the show is a visceral meditation on the contradictions of our time. Vassiliou, one of Cyprus’ most arresting contemporary voices, occupies both gallery halls with a split personality of visual language. In one room, light teases serenity; in the next, darkness speaks louder. Masks replace portraits. Screens become wounds. Every canvas pushes toward an unspoken question: how do we live truthfully in a world designed for performance?

And yet, Vassiliou offers no easy answers — only confrontation.

The exhibition opens on Thursday, 25 September at 19:00 with an immersive night of art, performance, and interaction. Guests are welcomed into a living riddle, accompanied by a live DJ set by ION, fine Japanese cuisine by Benzai, and curated wines. A one-time auction-lottery invites visitors to name their price for a Vassiliou original — a bold twist on the art market’s status quo. Presented by HAUTEART, Cyprus’ leading avant-garde gallery, this is not just an exhibition. It’s a lived experience — where art stares back.

Theo-Mass Lexileictous: 'The Ice Age' Exhibition - Exclusive photojournal

Theo-Mass has presented his latest exhibition in Limassol, Cyprus and we were lucky enough to be at the opening -last Friday the 8th of November.

Eins gallery is pleased to present Theo-Mass Lexileictous’ solo exhibition entitled The Ice Age. This body of work is the consummation of three years of investigation into our distanced and complex relationship with the environment and nature, and the ephemeral, while questioning digital and physical fabrication processes to understand our evolving relationship to matter.

Theo-Mass’ work explores the boundaries between the digital and the existent, the relationship between the human and the machine, and its distinctive aesthetic, which focuses and experiments with the sensory experience of light, space and form. He works across a range of mediums, from sculpture, installation, photography to film, crossing boundaries between disciplines. Exploring the ever-changing nature of materiality and the meaning of substance in a Postdigital era, this work addresses these issues; however, unlike his previous works, it is removed from the technological and machine made.

‘The Ice Age’ presents 3 new performative sculptural hybrid objects which constantly evolve and change, an approach that generates a network of dynamic and unpredictable living situations that unfold in real-time.

Parts of the exhibition are still open until the 18th of November. Discover them around the old town of Limassol. Find out more online.
