GEORGE HADJIMICHALIS

Μay 25 – July 10, 2006

George Hadjimichalis was born in Athens in 1954. He studied painting in London. He lives and works in Athens.

George Hadjimichalis’s show is about Piet Mondrian. The artist will present:
- a Dvd on the work of Piet Mondrian,“ Broadway - Boogie Woogie” (1942-1944).
- drawings about Piet Mondrian.
- a representation of Piet Mondrian’s studio. By using the anamorphic perspective, the artist painted Piet Mondrian’s studio in a wooden box. Through two peep holes the viewer can observe the studio in three dimensions.

The work of George Hadjimichalis is characterized by diversity as much in technique as in the use of materials and methods. The artist explores the limits of painting by creating three-dimensional works that narrate or refer to stories, interpret texts or simply indicate situations and thoughts.

In 1995 George Hadjimichalis began to operate the “Workshop of Projects” and Images in Crisis. In this workshop he creates and organizes various archives which he then uses in the construction of some of his works. The publication of books and music CDs also lies within the scope of the Workshop’s activities.

During the opening opening of George Hadjimichalis, there will be a presentation of George Hadjimichalis’s book “ Konek Konek, King of Isprovana Ponders what Man can Be”. This book, which is the second edition of the work that had been presented in the gallery Bernier-Eliades in 2002, has been published by Navado Press, Trieste, in 300 copies and signed by the artist.

The exhibition will last until July 10. The gallery is open Tue-Fri 10:30-20:00, Saturday 12:00-16:00.
