VISUAL ARTS
Larnaca, Pierides Museum (22128175). “Nina Iakovou: Eyes to See and Hands to Touch.” This exhibition continues in Larnaca, offering a comprehensive and penetrating look at the work of the pioneering artist — well worth adding to your September calendar. Organised by the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation and the Pierides Museum, part of the Bank of Cyprus Group, the exhibition brings together works from different periods of Iakovou’s creative career, highlighting the varied and multifaceted expressions of her artistic practice. Ceramic compositions, paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations and mixed-media works, rendered in her distinctive visual language full of sensitivity and strength, offer insight into the artist’s reflections and preoccupations, which place the female form at their centre. Until 6/5/2027
