\u2018I paint whatever touches me, whatever I feel about life \u2013 just like that. Golden horsemen who now live only in our dreams, languid women and lovers\u2026 I love the light that caresses faces; what poetry in a body bathed in it! I love colours, naked bodies, fabrics, the red room, a fugitive\u2019s story, small, ordinary events. The sight amid rocks and bushes, the wave that breaks, rattling the pebbles\u2026 The view from my window is a little mountain with a monastery and cypress trees\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n
The poetic gaze of Alekos Fassianos unfolds through figures, colours, and moments inspired by everyday life and memory. The public will have the opportunity to discover this distinctive visual world in the exhibition Alekos Fassianos. Under the Summer Sun, presented at the National Gallery\u2019s Corfu Annex.<\/p>\n
Bringing together 46 works \u2013 including oils, acrylics, and prints \u2013 the exhibition offers a representative overview of the artist\u2019s creative journey. The featured pieces are drawn from the collections of the National Gallery, the Alekos Fassianos Museum, and private collections, spanning nearly six decades of his artistic production. Together, they highlight both the consistency and the evolution of Fassianos\u2019s practice, alongside his singular ability to transform life\u2019s \u201csmall, ordinary\u201d moments into images full of life and intensity. The exhibition offers a meaningful opportunity to engage with the work of one of Greece\u2019s most important contemporary artists and experience his unique visual language up close.<\/p>\n
