An explosive device went off. It was outside artist Giorgos Gavriel's home. This happened on Thursday evening. It was in the Kokkinotrimithia area. The artist's family was at home. No one was hurt, which is good. The device was two strong firecrackers. This event made the art world worried. Police have started to look into it.
The explosion might be about Gavriel's art show. The show was called "Antisystemic Art." Some people did not like the art. It showed religious and political symbols differently. This made people angry. People said Gavriel was not respectful. He and the gallery owner got threats. The gallery stopped the show.
People on motorcycles threw the explosives. They threw them at Gavriel's house. The outside of the house has little damage. But the artist's family is upset. Police are looking for clues. They are also checking cameras. The firecrackers were strong. This means the people were dangerous.
This attack happened after many threats. Politicians also spoke against the art. Some wanted Gavriel to go to court. This shows people are divided.
This event will start new talks. Should the government help artists? What can art show? Can anger cause harm? This shows artists can be in danger. We must protect freedom to show art.
