Alexandros Xairetakis, "Portraits" at IEET

Tsichritzis Visual Arts Foundation hosts from January 23rd to February 9th 2013 the artworks of Alexandros Xairetakis in a solo exhibition titled "Portraits". The opening will take place on Wednesday 23rd January at 19.30 in the main gallery area of the foundation in Kifissia (Athens).


The famous painter portrays realistic human figures, mainly female, that carry the “cleaner possible expression of absurd”. The artist places the female form in a room or in a city's landscape, surrounded by objects and tries to present the women's inner mentality through a dialogue of impressions with the spectators.


Alexandros Xairetakis (1959) was born in the city of Athens. He studied in the School of Fine Arts (Athens, Paris and Berlin). He counts many collaborations with famous Greek artists like Y. Tsarouhis, A. Apergis, P. Tetsis, S. Coursari and Pavlos. He is member of the Chamber of Fine Arts of Greece and UNESCO. Since 1985 he has presented his artworks in various solo and group exhibitions in Greece, countries around Europe and China. His paintings can be found in public and private collections around the world. Some of his artworks have been auctioned from Sothbey's and Bonhams in London.


Opening hours: Tuesday & Thursday 11.00 - 19.00 and Saturday 11.00 - 15.00 / Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday closed
