The result of this approach – which becomes more apparent as you spend time inspecting the works and speaking with Petros – are unique presentations of pieces with curious textures that are not as straightforward as they may first appear.
Monthly exhibitions feature works made specifically for the gallery, which is transformed each time through various installations and arrangements, all of which Petros constructs himself. While predominantly dealing with ceramics – bowls, vases, tableware and sculptural objects – there are also works in metal and glass, along with paintings and assemblage. Among the thirty or so artists whose works are featured in the gallery, a strong group of Japanese creators are complemented by a handful of artists from Scandinavia and Central Europe. Distinctive and independent, Pragmata Gallery showcases compelling works that combine a curious mix of tradition and modernity, functionality and experimentation blurring the lines between functional items and works of art.Īs a collector turned gallerist/curator, Petros Titonakis opened Pragmata in 2013 as an extension of his growing collection of, and long-held interest in, contemporary craft and antiques.

Artistic tableware, utilitarian tools, lifelike ornaments and other familiar pieces huddle together on an island of antique units.
