    Fassianos: Everyday Myths : Le Quotidien Mythique 7th December – 21st December 2012 Press Release ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Grosvenor Gallery is proud to present its forthcoming exhibition, Fassianos: Everyday Myths – Le Quotidien Mythique, opening on 6th December 2012. Fassianos is regarded as one of the greatest masters of postwar Greek art and this is his first solo exhibition at the Grosvenor Gallery. Alekos Fassianos (b. 1935) studied violin at the Athens Conservatory and painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts from 1956 - 1960 where he was taught from Yannis Moralis. He then went to Paris on a French State scholarship (1962–1964) where he attended lessons on lithography along with Clairin and Caroline Chariot-Dayez. He lived and worked solely in Paris from 1966 and divided his time between Paris and Athens from 1974. His first real recognition came during a New York exhibition at the Facchetti Gallery in 1966. Since then Fassianos has had many exhibitions worldwide including ones in Athens, Hamburg, Tokyo, Milan, Munich, Paris, London, Stockhom and the United States. Fassianos draws inspiration from Greek myths, Fayum portraits, Byzantine icons and the shadow theatre. His paintings are also characterised by motion which is emphasised by the hair or cloth waving in the breeze. In his artistic maturity his figures are known for their voluptuousness and the luminosity of the colour he uses to highlight the sensuality and the immense pleasure of everyday life. This is probably less true of his early works. His works from the 1960s were made in the expressionist style and his figures are more grotesque. "As in ancient pottery, Fassianos's modern figures are captured in an eternal contre-jour which renders them both precise and timeless.

    Smyrna: Large-format panorama of the seafront. Late 19th-century postcard. (Antonis Mailis Archive) vein of irony here – one of the main features of Politis’ writing – and much sarcasm, as well as incessant discussion, mainly in Hecate, of philosophical and other matters. Politis was born in Athens but grew up and came of age in the cosmopolitan environment of the city of Smyrna, where he came into contact with Western European culture and lit- erature. However, memories of the lost city, after its defeat and the Asia Minor Disaster of 1922, did not begin to surface in him until his third novel, Ero˚ca, which appeared in 1937 and was the novel that made his reputation. This novel, which critics considered to be superior to Grand Meaulnes, the nov- el it was modelled on, appears to take place in Patras, where Politis was transferred and worked between 1934 and 1942, Refugees from Asia Minor boarding boats, 1922. (E.L.I.A. Photographic Archive) but the story begins with childhood memories of Smyrna. Its heroes are children imitating adults, pretending to be firemen, wearing helmets like those worn in ancient times and trying to put out fires they themselves have started. This innocent childhood ‘heroism’ is very skilfully interwoven with a preco- cious introduction to death and with the first erotic awaken- ings of adolescence. Time is continually changing and the ac- tion seems to be shifted away from the feats of imaginative he- roes to the valour of the heroes of The Iliad. So when Andre- as, the protagonist, dies, his beloved friend Loizos organizes athletic games, partly as a way to re-activate the group and partly as a parody of the burial games for Patrocles in The Il- iad.
