The Bernier/Eliades Gallery is pleased to host Antrea Tzourovits’ first solo exhibition with the gallery in Athens, titled Empty Hums. The opening will take place on Thursday, 12 February 2026, from 19:00 to 21:00, in the presence of the artist. Tzourovits is a visual artist whose primary focus is sculpture and installation. His practice centers on the exploration of materiality, structure, and corporeality through works that activate space as an experiential field.

In this exhibition, Tzourovits presents a new body of work that returns to questions that have long preoccupied him. This new series is grounded in manual labor and personal experience and memory. The artist seeks a delicate balance between sculpture and painting, the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional, functionality and abstraction, as well as between interior, exterior, and in-between space. His approach is post-minimalist, as the handmade, corporeality, materiality, emotional charge, and intensity of touch constitute fundamental elements of his process. The word Hums in the title does not refer to sound but to an intermediate state of uncertainty, full of potential. The word Empty underscores the artist’s intention to avoid constructing a narrative. The exhibition title aims to evoke an encounter between “something-like” and “nothing specific,” through objects that resemble many things yet deliberately remain in a state of suspension, refusing to settle into a definition that would delimit their possibilities.

Antrea Tzourovits (b. 1987, Montenegro) lives and works in London. He received an MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art at University College London (2022), as a NEON fellow, and holds a degree from the Athens School of Fine Arts (2020).
