Christophoros Katsadiotis presents engravings and more specifically etchings at his exhibition, in the art gallery Choros Tehnis 24, at 38 Speusipou Street, Kolonaki, on Tuesday April 4, 2011 at 7:30 p.m.

Even though Christophoros Katsadiotis was a child of Journalism, he abandoned that path soon enough to follow his inner desire, since along with his work in magazines and radio stations he has already presented his work in three solo exhibitions and has participated in many group exhibitions as well.

Today, being a student in the School of Fine Arts of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki he continuous to exhibit his multidimensional work.

Thus, in 2010 he presented another solo exhibition in Thessaloniki switching from expressionistic oil paintings to etching, which is a form of Engraving. It consists of  “writing” on zinc using acids.

The professor of Engraving in the School of Fine Arts, Xenis Sahinis, has commented on his work: “The expressive needs of Christophoros Katsadiotis shifted. If we didn’t make any reference to painting, it would be a mistake, because the artist consolidated and materialized his visions through the pictorial values of painting.”

A key characteristic of his work is his in-depth criticism and sarcastic insight into the world, an insight enfolded in a triptych that seems to say: “Welcome to the world of Criticism, Subversion, and Distortion.”

The professor Xenis Sahinis adds as well, “Silent and directed dialogues are carefully developed in the works of Christophoros Katsadiotis among persons who do not reveal their personalities, behind the facade, offered by the artist to his audience for a first reading. Thus, he urges us, in a way, to find our personality and the facade that it incarnates so that we, from the position of viewers, can star in a new composition, which is not more than an illustrated part of our lives.
