On Wednesday the 15th of February, in the art space of «ASTROLAVOS dexameni, opens an individual exhibition by Stathis Stavropoulos.

The artist is mostly known in the broader audience by his collaboration with newspapers and magazines in the field of caricature. This is the artist's forth personal exhibition within a gallery space, where he exhibits some of his works from the past five years.
Sketches drawn on paper with ink, colored marker pens, watercolors or acrylic paint are impregnated by a unique notion of sensitivity, in a theoretical and technical level.

A delicate, transparent texture which is being distinguished by the stroke of the brush and the coloring of the painting in combination with the romantic character some of the figures have acquired and the space which surrounds them, lends the artwork the feeling of innocence and childhood age. The reason is obvious. The works which have been drawn for the illustration of fairytales as well as the pictorial attribution of the lyrics of songs and poems, are all works which respond to a process directly connecting the sensitivity of speech or text with the artistic sensitivities of their designer.

Isolated female figures surrounded/ entrapped within cities with eyes, mythological goddesses in seaside sceneries, colourful human forms in medieval and renaissance buildings; are few of the many topics which, in a dominant, surrealistic way of approach, refer in alien universes and different epochs of history. The exhibition will also include caricatures in the usual sharp humour and unique personal style of the designer.
