Opening

16:00 – 19:00
The Edit Gallery presents The Rise of the Sun, the Fall of Time, Danae Patsalou’s second solo exhibition at the gallery, a body of work that reflects on time, memory, and renewal through the parallel imagery of sunrise and archaeological discovery.
Through a series of paintings and drawings, the exhibition explores moments of revelation in which what was once hidden gradually comes into view. In the early hours of the morning, the rising sun briefly transforms the landscape, illuminating forms that moments before remained concealed in darkness. Though fleeting, this daily transition signals a beginning, shifting our perception of space and time.

Artist
Danae Patsalou
Danae Patsalou (b. 1999) is a Cypriot visual artist based in Nicosia. Working primarily in drawing and painting, her practice explores landscape as a site where memory, cultural heritage, and personal experience intersect. Positioned between abstraction and representation, her works reflect on the evolving relationship between self and place, often engaging with the layered histories and shared realities embedded in the Cypriot landscape. Patsalou holds a BA in Fine Arts from Falmouth University (Falmouth School of Art) and an MA in Arts and Cultural Management from King’s College London. Her work has been presented in group exhibitions and performances in Cyprus, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
