<h3>Private viewing: </h3><h3>3 MARCH – 6:30pm | CYPRUS HOUSE  </h3><h3>13 St. James’s Square, SW1Y 4LB </h3><h3></h3><p>blur meaning: </p><p>·      verb: make or become unclear or less distinct </p><p>·      noun: a thing that cannot be seen or heard clearly </p><p>Nikolas Louka’s show at the Cyprus High Commission, Beyond the Blur, repurposes a broad spectrum of photographs taken during the photographer’s decade-long career in fashion, portrait, theatre and commercial photography. The exhibition invites us to revisit the art of photography, to look, indeed, beyond the “blur” of the medium’s artifice, facilitated through lens manipulation, heavy makeup, smiles, veils, masks; to look beyond the stillness or movement of the body, and – most importantly for our contemporary Instagram-saturated visual culture – beyond the intense editing of digital technology that has blurred the boundaries between reality and fantasy. </p><p> </p><h3>Duration of exhibition:  </h3><h3>3 – 23 March | Mon-Fri 10:00-16:00 </h3><h3>(book a visit via info@culturalchc.co.uk) </h3>
