NEW YORK – The exhibition of paintings by Andreas Kontellis titled “Mythology” opens on May 9, 6 PM, at the Consulate General of Greece in New York, 69 East 79th Street in Manhattan, as part of the events organised in order to promote contemporary Greek culture in the United States.
RSVP for the opening reception by May 6 via email: rsvp.nyc@mfa.gr. The exhibition runs through May 23 and is on view Monday-Friday, 9 AM-2:30 PM.
A graduate of the School of Fine Arts in Athens, the artist holds a Masters of Art degree in Fine Art from Middlesex University, London, and has received several awards from the State Scholarship Foundation and the Academy of Athens. He has participated in more than 20 solo exhibitions and numerous group shows in major museums and cultural spaces and is considered one of the main representatives of expressionist painting in Greece.
In his current exhibition the artist explores his personal mythologies and their vast array of interpretations, which are founded upon the collective mythology and are expressed visually in a rather contemporary style.
