“Empty Hums”: Andrea Tzourovits’ First Solo Exhibition at Bernier/Eliades

Bernier/Eliades presents the first solo exhibition by Andrea Tzourovits at the gallery, 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 practice is primarily grounded in sculpture and installation. His work focuses on the exploration of materiality, structure, and corporeality, treating space as an active field of experience. In Empty Hums, he presents a new body of work that revisits long-standing concerns in his practice. The exhibition brings together a new series of works rooted in manual labour, personal experience, and memory.

At the core of Tzourovits’ approach lies a search for a delicate balance: between sculpture and painting, the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional, functionality and abstraction; between interior, exterior, and the in-between. His methodology can be described as post-minimalist, as the handmade, physical presence, materiality, emotional charge, and tactile intensity form fundamental elements of his process.

The word Hums in the exhibition title does not refer to sound, but rather to an intermediate state of uncertainty, charged with potential. Empty underscores the artist’s intention to resist the construction of narrative. Together, the title points toward a meeting ground between “something-like” and “nothing specific,” through objects that resemble many things yet deliberately remain suspended, refusing to settle into a single definition that would limit their possibilities.
