Following his successful exhibitions in Europe and the USA – along with his regular appearances in the International Press, which raised the interest of International Collectors, Museums and Art Critics, especially in the Metropolis of Art, New York – the Greek Artist Giannis Stratis is now presenting his Retrospective Exhibition at DowN TowN Art Gallery Alex Marathianakis.
“Welcome to my World”
The exhibition presents Giannis Stratis’ production of painting
from 1995 until today.
The exhibition is curated by Mr. Megakles Rogakos,
Art Curator of The American College of Greece, Athens.
In his article, entitled “Horizontal Expression Vertically Explored”, Mr. Rogakos writes: “The art of Giannis Stratis combines the endlessness of representation with the fathomlessness of intelligibility…”
