            Oionos art gallery presents 'Chromatic Atopia', an exhibition of Greek artist Christina Tzani.

Through the use of the watercolor medium children figures are depicted brightly colored suggesting an imaginary society. The images are thoughtful, their glances intense and they are adorned with highly decorated garments. This way a colorful symphony evolves and develops, concealing and overwhelming the viewer’s enjoyment at the same time introducing a doubt as to the figures intent. The absence of space, the atopic space maybe considered as a reaction of oversensitivity, creating a momentary impression of a surface opened up and continuing its visual bond to the surrounding space. The redness of the figures hands reveals forcefully the sensitivity of the young protagonists and demystifies the management of the visual representation in connection to the viewer’s interpretation.

She has a B.A in Fine Arts (Honours) from the Fine Arts School of University of Western Macedonia, Florina, Greece with Harris Kondosphyris and Thomas Zografos as her supervising professors.
