  • Eddie Martinez, 1977 —
    Eddie Martinez, 1977 — Eddie Martinez has gained international recognition for his extraordinary use of line and manipulation of colour, which he applies aggressively and in vividly contrasting combinations to his paintings and sculptures. His style draws from a deep understanding of painting’s histories, filtered through personal experience, popular culture and sport. Described as “indomitable” by Interview magazine, Martinez has recently attracted attention for his “exceptional gifts as a painter and draftsman, which he exuberantly combines.” (Roberta Smith, New York Times). Martinez’s paintings incorporate coarse brushwork and bold contours through the combination of mediums such as oil, enamel and spray paint, and often include collaged found objects. Martinez has had solo exhibitions at Drawing Center, New York; Davis Museum at Wellesley College, Massachusetts; Peres Projects, Berlin; Half Gallery, New York; The Journal Gallery, Brooklyn; and ZieherSmith, New York. His work has been included in the group exhibitions New York Painting, Kunstmuseum Bonn (2015); Body Language, The Saatchi Gallery, London (2013–2014); New York Minute, Garage Centre For Contemporary Culture, Moscow (2011); Not Quite Open for Business, The Hole, New York (2010); Draw, Museo de la Cuidad de México, Mexico City (2010); So Wrong, I’m Right, Blum & Poe, Los Angeles (2007); Mail Orders and Monsters, Deitch Projects, New York (2007); and Panic Room: Works from the Dakis Joannou Collection, Deste Foundation Centre for Contemporary Art, Athens (2006). Martinez had his first solo museum exhibition in September 2017 at the Davis Museum, Wellesley, MA. The exhibition featured large-scale paintings from the Mandala series and recent bronze sculptures. In October 2017, The Drawing Center in New York presented a show of drawings and sketches from the artist’s studio.

  • Artnet.Com October 19, 2011
    ARTNET.COM OCTOBER 19, 2011 REMAP ATHENS: ATHENIAN RHAPSODY by Kimberly Bradley Nicolas Party in the bathroom Greece is obviously still the word in the Eurozone, for reasons that go way beyond the art world. Rehashed every couple of months, the country’s dire financial situation is looking worse than ever. Yet, in the midst of it all, ReMap 3, Sept. 12-Oct. 30, 2011, launched in Athens last month, is infusing one of inner city Athens’ roughest neighborhoods, Kerameikos-Metaxourgeio, with a buzzing energy. For the third time, the biannual event -- not really a biennale, definitely not a fair, but far more than just an exhibition -- brought more than 50 separate exhibitions to town for six weeks, most of them into the area’s otherwise unoccupied buildings, storefronts, spaces and lots. A temporary art squat, so to speak, that has a bit of a history. A decade ago, ReMap founder Iasson Tsakonas, a 39-year-old Cornell-educated entre- preneur, bought a building on Kerameiko Street (the area was where the city’s ceramic potters lived in the classical era, and part of the district holds Athens’ ancient cemeteries). It’s now a spacious headquarters for his company, Oliaros, in an area that is still 46 percent unoccupied. He would know, since he literally mapped out the neighborhood as he slowly purchased more buildings and founded the nonprofit KM Protypi Geitoni to focus on urban renewal research and projects as well. Tsakonas is also an avid art collector, and in the mid-2000s, dealer Javier Peres asked Tsakonas if he could run his gallery, Peres Projects, out of one of his Athens spaces for the summer while his Los Angeles and Berlin galleries were under renovation.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Nikos Alexiou THE END (once more) Athens-Venice 2007 Opening Thursday 8 November 2007, 8 pm Zoumboulakis Galleries, 20 Kolonaki Square Nikos Alexiou represents Greece in the 52nd Venice Biennale with the work “The End”, a modular installation inspired by the floor mosaic in the Catholicon of the Iviron Monastery on Mount Athos (10th-11th c. AD). Concurrently, on November 8 2007, he will exhibit under the same title at Zoumboulakis Galleries (20 Kolonaki Square) a series of large-scale prints (on archival paper) of the digitally manipulated representation of the floor mosaic. The valuable material (photographs, drawings, etc.) from the creative evolution of the work THE END, Athens-Venice 2007, will be included in a special limited edition book, created and signed by the artist. The book will be available from Zoumboulakis Galleries and selected bookstores. Yorgos Tzirtzilakis, commissioner / curator of the Hellenic participation in the 52nd Venice Biennale, comments in the exhibition catalogue: «Alexiou belongs to that generation of artists who, during the 1980s, expanded the object of art into the realm of installation… He turned from the outset to a fragile and ephemeral world which he introduced into the artistic language, setting the obsessive use of non figurative grids, patterns, decorations and repetitive structures as a kind of existential metaphor». Exhibition Duration: 8 November - 8 December 2007 Zoumboulakis Galleries, 20 Kolonaki Square Opening Times: Tu. - Fri. 11 am – 2 pm and 6–9 pm, Sat. 11 am – 2 pm Sunday & Monday closed Curriculum Vitae: Nikos Alexiou was born in Rethymnon in 1960. He studied in the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts and the Athens School of Fine Arts.
