At the Modern Art Gallery (Old Sissitio), 179 Sokratous St., Medieval Town of Rhodes, talented artist Rena Avagianou exhibits her personal paintings entitled “Places of Escape”.

A few notes from critic, Athena Schina, the Art Historian & Culture Theorist and Chairman of the Artistic Committee of the Museum of Modern Art (Neohellenic Art).

"Rena's world is a unique, Avagianou fairytale, dreamlike.

This visual artist with the source inspiration and sensuality, with its excellent design studying the color of the palette in depth, which though not holding back the spontaneity, shapes space-time landscapes that present the viewer with a different one time dimension.

It is the "dimension" that pleases and surprises, at the same time, raises questions to all those who try to find it, the atmosphericity and especially the style of the painter concerning the mediation between dream and reality, memory and everyday life , consciousness and sub consciousness, proximity and distances, "objectivity" and vision.”
