Roma Gallery presents the group exhibition Geometric Vision: Opy Zouni, Marianna Lourba, Giannis Michas, curated by art historian Alia Tsagkari.
The exhibition proposes a side-by-side exploration of three distinct perspectives on the concept of geometry, emphasizing the sensory perception and processing of geometric ideas by the three artists. Rather than imposing an artificial art-historical narrative that would classify the works into a specific school based on stylistic affinities or shared artistic traditions, Geometric Vision highlights geometry as a point of departure for creating a complex network of interconnections, within which the different approaches converge into a unified spatial field.

Opy Zouni (1941–2008)
Twin Space – Rays of Light, 1972, acrylic on wooden construction
Opy Zouni engages in an analytical organization of perspective, rearranging prismatic views within an illusionistic space. Triangular beams and gradated color planes are scaled to form a parallel space that disrupts the stability of visual experience. In her work, geometry is neither restrictive nor a singular preoccupation; rather, it emerges as a continuous challenge, a mechanism activating the parallel development of matter and the expansion of the visual field.

Marianna Lourba (b. 1980)
Anemi, 2025, mixed media on wooden construction
Marianna Lourba constructs a topographical version of geometric abstraction drawing from the architectural structures of the Aegean: overlapping planes, emerging volumes, rounded corners, and monochromatic surfaces that intensify the sense of depth. The precision of lines and the strict organization of spatial intervals serve as syntactic principles shaping the visual field, where surface, abstraction, and geometry intertwine. Her volumetric forms emerge as autonomous compositional units with a clear spatial and structural role in the overall composition.

Giannis Michas (1938–2008)
Composition X 252, 1990, oil on canvas
Giannis Michas approaches geometry as a dynamic system grounded in the transformation of forms. His practice is characterized by the continuous evolution of basic elements into new directions, shaped by the relationships they develop among themselves. Distilling his observations of the contemporary world, Michas isolates shapes that form fields of interrelation. This process of simplifying forms into elementary structures leads to the recognizable grids of squares.

Through this lens, geometry reappears not as a singular language but as a multifaceted visual experience: an open process of relationships, transformations, and references.
