THE DRAWING PROJECT WORKS ON PAPER

Macart Cultural Space, after a year of confinement and cultural deprivation, organized a three-day subversive must-see event with works by the well-known painter Nikos Kyriakopoulos. An exhibition dedicated to the human contact that we have missed so much. The painter, with more than 170 works that were created inside his studio during the first year of the pandemic, lures us into the light, to colorful beaches and the drive-thru bars of Miami. Together with Lautrec, they takes us on a tour to the dressing rooms of the Moulin Rouge, the painters’ workshops with their models, bedrooms and sofas, without Netflix, without masks, without distances. An upbeat tour of a time when it’s all too easy to turn dark at the slightest thing. In the art store there was the collector’s book of the exhibition in 250 numbered copies, as well as signed giclée prints and collaboration items of Pencil Squad Studio and Macart. The exhibition was honored with the presence of over four hundred people, among them well-known collectors, artists, gallery owners and of course art lovers. The venue operated with all the necessary precautionary measures against covid-19.
