The outside instillation art will
intrigue you before you even step inside this gallery. You'll be spellbound by the gold
and silver and the glass and metal highlighted by turquoises and deep oranges. This is the
main exhibition space of Yorgos Kypris, an internationally celebrated artist who takes
much of his inspiration from the chunk of time he spends annually on Santorini.
Take in his larger sculptures and pieces and then consider home items, pendants and
jewellery that are hard to resist.
