Art has the power to bring people together, spark conversation, and create moments of reflection which transcend borders. With this spirit in mind, the Cultural Club at the Residence was envisioned as an intimate platform for artistical and cultural exchange, hosted at the Cyprus High Commissioner’s Residence in London. Curated in collaboration with Mrs. Vasso Kinani Kourou and the Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission, this series of exclusive events invites a selected audience to engage with thought-provoking exhibitions and meaningful artistic dialogues.
The season opens with Copper Washed in White by Enver Gürsev (www.envergursev.com/painting), an artist whose work deeply resonates with themes of identity, belonging, and displacement. Navigating the in-between spaces of his Cypriot heritage and British upbringing, Gürsev’s art evokes a sense of nostalgia and impermanence - drawing upon abandoned landscapes, borderlands, and half-remembered places that linger in memory. His work invites us to reflect on the idea of home, not as a fixed location, but as an ever-evolving emotional and cultural terrain.
Later in June, the programme will continue with The Art of Balance by Kika Pierides (www.kikapierides.com), a contemporary Patternist whose practice explores the invisible spaces between rhythm, intuition, and emotional balance. Her work is an extension of how she navigates change - layering pattern, collage, and colour to create uplifting compositions which map an inner journey from complexity to clarity. Inspired by personal rituals, movements, and even the smallest shifts in nature, her art celebrates resilience, transformation, and exultation.
The Cultural Club at the Residence is not just a series of events - it is a space for connection, inspiration, and cultural dialogue.
Attendance is by invitation only.
