A selection of artworks by Elli Antoniou that feature in the current duo exhibition, ‘Antechamber’, with Jamiu Agboke For Antoniou, landscape exists as an ecosystem in perpetual metamorphosis, inseparable from bodily and cosmic experience. Metallic surfaces, charcoal fields and fragmented mountain forms become dispersed sensory events stretched across duration. Influenced by the fluid spatial sensibility of Shan Shui painting traditions, her recurring mountain motifs function less as destinations than as unstable temporal markers - distances that shift continuously between intimacy and enormity, memory and mirage. Vertical gestures recur throughout the works like translucent veils, simultaneously obscuring and revealing while invoking gravity as an invisible force shaping all experience. Her continued exploration of the intercom works extend this language of thresholds further, transforming familiar architectural interfaces into speculative portals between realities. References to lifts, devotional shrines and Athenian apartment infrastructures collapse distinctions between transcendence and the everyday, dream states and material presence. Throughout her practice, metal is treated not as fixed industrial matter but as something capable of becoming immaterial - reflective surfaces dissolving solidity into atmosphere, light and perceptual flux. The exhibition will be on view at the gallery until 4 July.

Antechamber, a duo exhibition by Jamiu Agboke and Elli Antoniou, is now open We’d like to say thank you to everyone that visited for the opening weekend of the exhibition @londongalleryweekeend Central to both practices is an act of listening. Surfaces do not simply receive images but guide the rhythm of their own formation. Copper, aluminium, charcoal, wood veneer and reflective metallic planes each carry their own internal logic, resistance and velocity. Rather than imposing fixed structures onto these materials, Antoniou and Agboke work responsively, allowing atmospheres to emerge through repetition, submission and sustained attention. Meaning gathers slowly and relationally, as though the image is not constructed but revealed - something accessed intuitively before words, formulas or reason. A spiritual undercurrent moves throughout the exhibition, though never through direct symbolism or narrative. Instead, the works approach perception itself as a devotional condition: embodied, instinctive and quietly transformative. Light functions almost sculpturally, isolating individual works like beacons or shrines within the gallery’s dimmed architecture. Encounters unfold through glimmers, reflections and partial illuminations that recall the heightened theatricality of Baroque sculpture or the concentrated beams of light found deep within caves and sacred sites. Time appears suspended within these environments. The ordinary physical coordinates of the gallery begin to dissolve, replaced by a sensation of weightlessness, equilibrium and subtle disorientation - as though viewers have entered a liminal state between atmospheres.

Final days to view | Jamiu Agboke & Elli Antoniou | Antechamber | Until 4 July Central to both practices is an act of listening. Surfaces do not simply receive images but guide the rhythm of their own formation. Copper, aluminium, charcoal, wood veneer and reflective metallic planes each carry their own internal logic, resistance and velocity. Rather than imposing fixed structures onto these materials, Antoniou and Agboke work responsively, allowing atmospheres to emerge through repetition, submission and sustained attention. Meaning gathers slowly and relationally, as though the image is not constructed but revealed - something accessed intuitively before words, formulas or reason. Together, Antoniou and Agboke create an exhibition grounded in meditative attention to the fleeting and unstable nature of perception. The gallery itself becomes a mutable landscape activated by movement, shadow and changing intensity - a terrain navigated through gradients of brightness and obscurity. Each work functions as a threshold: a quiet gravitational pull drawing viewers into altered states of attentiveness and sensation. Even at their most composed, the works never feel static. Instead, they hold us within the suspended cusp between one state and another - between immersion and withdrawal, surface and depth, revelation and afterimage.

Antechamber | Jamiu Agboke & Elli Antoniou 6 June - 4 July 2026 Open today Sunday 7 June, 12 - 5pm @londongalleryweekeend Cob is pleased to present Antechamber, a duo exhibition bringing into dialogue new works by Elli Antoniou and Jamiu Agboke. Across painting, metallic drawing, and charcoal drawing, the exhibition unfolds as a constellation of atmospheres: intimate zones of perception shaped through light, material and spatial rhythm. Moving between the sacred and the secular, the works emerge like moments of private revelation - suspended scenes illuminated with near-devotional intensity, where matter becomes radiant and architecture itself begins to dissolve. Rather than approaching landscape as image or site, both artists engage it as a shifting field of sensation and attentiveness: something encountered gradually through rhythm, memory, luminosity and material behaviour. Their works operate like fragments of a larger continuum, capturing fleeting states that hover between appearance and disappearance, recognition and obscurity. Horizons drift, forms remain provisional and compositions seem held within an ongoing process of becoming. Nothing settles entirely. Instead, viewers are drawn into spaces that feel simultaneously vast and intimate, where perception itself becomes unstable and heightened.

To Vouno [The Mountain] I, II III, 2024 Stainless steel, 59.5 x 45 cm (each) Group Show MASKING curated by Katerina Nikolaou, at Zoumboulakis Contemporary, Athens. “Stemming from the increasingly prominent tendency to destigmatise vulnerable human nature, the exhibition titled ‘Masking’ unfolds through multiple readings and interpretations, bringing to the fore the notion of ‘fragility’ - not merely as a material quality, but as an existential and political condition - illuminating stories, at times personal and at times social, that reveal ‘vulnerability’ as an integral element of our collective identity.” - extract by Katerina Nikolaou Participating Artists: Giorgos Avgeros @doritaavgerou, Xenofon Bitsikas @xenofonbitsikas, Kostas Christopoulos #kostaschristopoulos, Marina Genadieva @genadieva_marina, Panagiotis Kefalas @panagiotis_kefalas_studio, Marilena Kranioti @ematmospherrust, Malvina Panagiotidi @malvinapanagiotidi, Nefeli Papadimouli @nefeliepd, Stefanos Rokos @stefanosrokos, Kostis Velonis @kostisvelonis Photography @studiovaharidis @kat_nikolaou @zoumboulakis_contemporary taken in Zoumboulakis Contemporary Art by @elli__antoniou

Elli Antoniou | 7 Female Artists to Watch Now | Vogue Italia “Artissima 2025: The 7 Artists You Absolutely Need to Know. For an edition dedicated to a new manifesto for better living, here are the works of seven artists who presented works at the Turin contemporary art fair that offered both concrete and dreamlike answers. The body of work that most closely responds to this year’s theme belongs to Greek artist Elli Antoniou, and is titled Tensile Moments of Dispersion. In the Cob Gallery booth, she imagined a speculative cosmological environment, in which Earth is not the center of the universe, but rather a planet like any other plowing through interstellar space. The central helix-shaped sculpture, made of carved sheet metal, represents a galaxy wrapped around itself, while steel planets and celestial bodies float around it, embedded within the walls, the aftermath of an imaginary collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda. Exploding stars, gravitational pulls, and magnetic fields are no longer invisible forces governing the cosmos; in Elli Antoniou’s work, they take on sublime, magnetic forms forged from steel. Collapse becomes a creative terrain and the starting point for imagining a different way of inhabiting.” A look back at our solo presentation by @elli__antoniou at @artissimafair , as we prepare for her upcoming duo exhibition with @jamiu.agboke at the gallery this June during @londongalleryweekend Elli Antoniou Latent Detail II, 2025 Stainless steel with aluminium frame 21 x 46 cm 8 1/4 x 18 1/8 in Elli Antoniou Latent Detail VI, 2025 Stainless steel with aluminium frame 21 x 16 cm 8 1/4 x 6 1/4 in by @elli__antoniou
