More information

"I’ve been hooked on painting ever since I was a boy. I knew with absolute certainty that one day I’d become a painter. Other children make up stories with words: I used to make up stories with pictures; a whole lot of pictures following one another on a strip of paper that was sometimes as much as four metres long. But the people I lived with had their own ideas about painting and this stopped them from taking me seriously – though not for the reasons grown-ups usually find themselves unable to take seriously. The result was that none of my childhood pictures have survived”. – Alexis Akrithakis

Alexis Akrithakis var en framstående grekisk konstnär. Hans skapande talar ett omisskännligt språk och hans konst och liv kan uppfattas som oskiljaktiga, en återspegling av varandra. Med en säregen stil avbildade han fantasier i glada, livfulla färger med djärva kontraster. Akrithakis föddes i Aten och verkade där samt i Berlin efter att han år 1968 fick ett stipendium från The DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program.
Akrithakis var flitigt utställd under sin levnad och efter hans bortgång i en hjärtattack år 1994 visades ett flertal stora retrospektiver på olika museer.
