H ψυχή της τέχνης που αφορά... «όλους μας»
EKΘEΣH ΓΛYΠTIKHΣ TOY AΛEΞANΔPOY APAMΠATZOΓΛOY KAI AΓIOΓPAΦIAΣ TOY I. ΠETPAKH ΣTHN EΛOYNTAΟ Μπρούτζος και το Μάρμαρο δένουν αρμονικά στα έργα γλυπτικής του Αλέξανδρου Αραμπατζόγλου που φιλοξενούνται στον εκθεσιακό χώρο του κοινοτικού καταστήματος Ελούντας. Η έκθεση γλυπτικής του Αλ. Αραμπατζόγλου και αγιογραφίας του Ιωάννη Πετράκη με τίτλο «Όλους μας» άνοιξε χθες τις πύλες της και ολοκληρώνεται στις 20 Αυγούστου.Ο Αλέξανδρος Αραμπατζόγλου γεννήθηκε στο Ηράκλειο το 1970. Προερχόμενος από καλλιτεχνική οικογένεια, η ανάμειξή του με την τέχνη ξεκίνησε ήδη από την πολύ παιδική του ηλικία, ξεκινώντας από το σχεδιασμό και την κατασκευή κοσμημάτων. Ήταν εκείνη η περίοδος, όπου επιλέχτηκε ως σπουδαιότερος Έλληνας καλλιτέχνης από το αγγλικό κανάλι BBC, σκαλίζοντας την παράσταση «Ο κύκλος της ζωής»- Δαχτυλίδι- του οποίου το πρωτότυπο βρέθηκε στις Αρχάνες. Αργότερα, ανακάλυψε το πάθος του να δουλέψει με σκληρότερα υλικά κι έτσι, μετά από πολλή προσπάθεια, κατάφερε να δημιουργήσει το δικό του στυλ στη μοντέρνα τέχνη συνδυάζοντας τα αγαπημένα του υλικά και να δημιουργήσει μοναδικά γλυπτά. Πολλοί από το χώρο της τέχνης το αποκαλούν «ο επόμενος Henry Moore». Πολλά από τα γλυπτά του βρίσκονται σε ιδιωτικές συλλογές σε όλο τον κόσμο. Ο διευθυντής και ιδιοκτήτης των “Artery Galleries” στη Σκωτία, Mr Kason Michaelson, λέει για εκείνον: «Μετά τη γνωριμία μου με τον Αλέξανδρο στην Κρήτη έμεινα ενθουσιασμένος με το πάθος και την αγάπη για τη δουλειά του. Για τον Αλέξανδρο, η δημιουργία ενός γλυπτού είναι σα να σπάσει το εσωτερικό της ψυχής του, χρησιμοποιώντας μια επέκταση του εαυτού του μέσα σε κάθε μεμονωμένο γλυπτό».Σήμερα, διατηρεί στην Ελούντα το εργαστήριό του καθώς και τον ιδιωτικό εκθεσιακό του χώρο. Κάθε γλυπτό του είναι μοναδικό (δεν υπάρχουν αντίγραφα).

"The Mermaids"

"The Kiss"

"Greek Woman"

"During our stay in Elounda this summer, we visited the Olous Exhibition 2008 a number of times, admiring the works of Yannis and Alexandros.
We always returned to the "Greek Woman" - its silhouette, texture and play of golden-greenish colors come together in a unique piece of art. Marvellous!
Alexandros and Marilena: Euxaristóume pára polú! Tha más dóume!"

"Sitting Woman"

Sold to F. & E. Kuriloff - Virginia Beach - USA

"Floyd and I are so excited to have the sculpture here in time for our guests to see. They have similar taste to mine and I know they are going to love it and tell everyone about it. We have the perfect spot for it in a front hallway in the center of a curving staircase. Again, I am so excited." Betty Kuriloff.

"The Golden Fish"

ARTERY GALLERY

“…… after meeting with Alexandros in Crete last year, I was amazed at his drive, passion and enthusiasm for his work and his art.
For him creating his sculpture is like breaking down to the bare bones of his inner soul, using his hands to carve into the stone and creating an extension of himself within each individual sculpture.”

Mr. Jason Michaelson
Director of “ARTERY GALLERY”
St. Andrews, Scotland.

Mythyical Sculpture! - "The Golden Fish" by Alexandros Arabatzoglou at Artery Gallery
"Alexandros, is giving everything to get into his sculpture, the same amount of hummanity and seriousness, nobility and experience, acceptance of life, distinction and aristocracy. With absolutely no tricks, no effection, no self conciousness, looking straight ahead, no movemant... but more alive than a real person."

"Farao"

"We first came across the Cicada Gallery by pure accident during our holiday to Crete in 2007. Since that time we have become enthralled by the work of Alexandros.

On our original entry into the gallery we were very surprised to find on display such interesting and different works of art. Every piece on show was fascinating in both it's design and interpretation. To say that each exhibit was unique in it's design and formation does not really do justice to the works.

The designs are all extremely different and the workmanship portrays extreme skill. To work with such flair and accuracy in the various stones and metals to produce unique sculptures shows great craftmanship which Alexandros has no doubt inherited from his family.

We were so excited by his work that we immediately purchased a sculpture called "Farao" which as you can imagine has an Egyptian feel to it. Being halfway through our holiday we arranged for the delightful Marilena to deliver the sculpture to our hotel on our last day. It duly was delivered by hand and came beautifully presented together with a card thanking us for our custom".

Sold to Brian Appleyard & Sally A. Inston, England

"Archer"

"The Black Lady"

"On our return to the U.K. we decided to order a further piece for our new house.

This was called the "Black Lady".

We arranged for the work to be completed and delivered to our new house in time for our removal. All of this was arranged between ourselves and Marilena. As we had come to expect, the sculpture was delivered on time and undamaged.

The "Black Lady" now stands proudly on our dining room sideboard.

Throughout all of our dealings with Alexandros and Marilena we have found them to be most courteous, pleasant, enthusiastic and honest.

We therefore have no hesitation in recommending The Cicada Gallery to anyone who appreciates both unique and fine art presented by a most charming and engaging couple".

"Woman without Heart"

“ A woman without heart” has a special place in our hearts.

We do admire Alexandros dedication to create high quality art combined with his stubbornness to make sculptures with demanding shapes and movements—based on his own unique technique. The more difficult the better for him.
