Άγγελος Παναγιωτίδης (γ.
1950) |
| |
Angelos Panagiotidis was
born in Amphilochia in 1950.
He held his first exhibition at his studio in 1990 after
twenty years of experimenting with all the different
metals used in sculpture. He had also dedicated much
study to the natural world, particularly the structure
and forms of trees, throughout all various stages of
their lives and the various changes they undergo at
different times and in different seasons. His research
was conducted with the accuracy of a natural scientist,
the passion of the cultivator and the style and taste of
the poet. His profound knowledge of his materials,
acquired over these many years of study, led him to
create tree sculptures which hardly seem made by human
hand. Now, after a series of exhibitions commencing in
1995, they are not only instantly recognizable but have
come to be seen as classic representations of the tree
in sculpture.
The culmination of his creative career was the
exhibition staged at the Titanium Yiayiannos Gallery as
well as his participation at the same period in
important exhibitions organized as a part of
Olympiad: The World of the Olive exhibition at the
Theofilos Museum in Vareia, Mytilene and at the Basilica
St. Mark in Heraklion, Crete; the exhibition at
the Olive Museum in Sparta; the “In Praise of the Olive”
(Elaias Egkomion) exhibition at the Athens Academy and
the event staged at the Plateia Nerou Esplanada (Delta
Falirou) as part of the Coca Cola sponsorship of the
Athens 2004 Olympics.
With his artworks have been honored the Olympic
Champions: Pyrros Dimas and Nikos Kaklamanakis, as well
as the former chairman of parliament Apostolos
Kaklamanis & Anna Psarouda-Benaki and the Greek National
Polo Women Team. In May 2005 during the visit of Greek
prime minister Karamanlis to the U.S. was given a
bronze olive tree as a gift to President Bush.
During the Olympic Games of Athens 2004 with gold olive
wreaths awarded all three of the first Olympic Champions
of the Marathon (the Italian, Stefano Baldini, the
American, Keflezighi Mebrahtom and the Brazilian Lima
Vanderlei). With the same wreath has been honored and
the Slovak Matanin Marcel, whose entering to the
Panathenaiko Stadium became a symbol of the end of the
Games in Athens and an exponent of "fair play"
(30/09/2004). Additionally, the Municipality of
Amfilochia has honored with gold wreath the bronze
Medal Champion in the 100 meters and fourth in the 200
meters, Paraskevi Katza. With olive branches honored the
runner citizens of the City (10/16/2004). During the
Olympic Games, the former Greek prime Minister
Karamanlis offered to the President of Olympic
Committee, Mr Jacques Rogge, a bronze olive tree, as
well as in many other Presidents of countries
Angelos Panagiotidis is the creator of the "olive tree
of Athens" which is made by bronze and copper, height
3.30 meters, consisting of 5,000 brass leaves which has
been exposed throughout the duration of the Olympic
Games in Athens in the Park Donor (Water Plaza) at the
Palaio Faliro, where 5,000 guests put their signature on
each of the 5,000 leaves of the tree. The art work
permanently exhibited at Technopolis in Gazi. This was
sponsored by the Coca Cola Hellas in the Municipality of
Athens as a memorial tribute to the Olympic Games.
Finally all the Paralympians were honored with a small
copy of the "Olive Tree, the tree of Athens.

Greece, the Bank of Piraeus, the Alpha Bank, the Center
of Arts and Letters “Diexodos” in Messolongi, the Olive
Museum in Sparta, the Olive Museum in Mytiline, the

Athens" offered by the Sponsor of the Olympic Games,
