In Cyprus

Back

Before smartphones and social media, human imaginary was equally fascinated by routine. Yet, routine was captured with different mediums and multifaceted skills. This exhibition verifies an argument in favour of a traditional approach, which accepts a more realistic taste for depicting the visible world. With an analog photographic camera, a pen or a brush, the artists may surprise their viewers with precision, spontaneous brush strokes, ultimately, the unexpected detail which helps identifying a specific narrative beyond the images on paper or canvas.

In Cyprus, professional artists or serving members with artistic inclinations generated a sizeable production from which the pieces for this exhibition were selected. The original art and photography displayed here, were inspired or created during The RCR’s deployments under UNFICYP, from 1966 to 1984.
