> Alexander Seroff Exhibition
2015-11-13 - 2015-11-29 | Afroditis, The Art Hub Visual Arts Laboratories, Afroditis 35-37, Nicosia, Nicosia, 1060, Cyprus
Alexander Seroff showcases his daring strokes of narrative and imagery in a collective exhibition of his works.
Every color, every brush stroke is not planned in advance but flows with the moment of creating the scene.
The exhibition is a culmination of three exhibits held over the last three years.
The first exhibit was traumatic, feeling naked amongst peers: what would they think, would they LIKE (a terrible word) – “I LIKE IT,” “I DON’T LIKE IT”…
Forget the artist and think for yourself.

When death and love became one.
When my mind married by anger.
These wings I have they won’t learn to rise, in this white light beneath the skies i felt, exhausted, blinded, Im palsied by fear of lost.
When the moon climbed up and the darkness hugged the scene the days went by, but I was there as well.
When the moon covered the sun just like the darkness covered the light.
When the night married the day.
When the angels of heaven laughed at me.
When my desires blurred my mind.
When he introduced me to death.
When a God spun out of the worlds and we made love under the tree of sins.

> Introduction to architectural model construction
2020-06-29 10:00 - 2020-07-03 13:00 | The Art Hub Visual Arts Laboratories, Archiepiskopou Kyprianou 32, Nicosia, Nicosia, 2059, Cyprus
The architectural model – or maquette – is a key tool for composing and communicating the process of an architectural design. While designs can give information on a two-dimensional level, the model can express spatial proportions, qualities and ideas in three-dimensional form. Thus, the maquette becomes an instrument of communication and compositional process, helping to resonate spatial qualities, explaining the main concepts, as well as the ability to predict possible problems and their resolutions.
The construction of an architectural maquette combines artistic expression and technical skills,which stands not only a mere representation of the idea, but as a unique creation in itself. The choice of scale, its construction materials, the degree of detail it presents, are just some of the parameters that are defined depending on the purpose of creating the maquette.
This workshop is an introduction to the construction of architectural models and its various applications, scales, materials and techniques. It will also encourage each participant’s personal expression, curiosity and ability to source diverse inspirations for the construction and presentation of architectural models.
The workshop is suitable for students preparing a portfolio for admission to Schools of Architecture and Interior Design, for students currently studying in relevant specialties which specialization and finally for amateur and professional designers and artists who want to enrich their skills.
