“It is entitled POPeye and is a mini retrospective exhibition of the last 12 years.
The title POPeye is inspired by the legendary cartoon, but at the same time it is the eye that sees the world from its bright side.
It includes selected works from the most important sections of my work, such as BLUE LADIES, the Hippie Van, the “dolls”, Chania as I dreamed of it, mixed media works and as always, some beautiful known and unknown ladies.
The presentation of different sections aims to present various motifs of my visual expression, but at the same time to show that the method is always the same and non-negotiable:
Dynamic lines, clean colors and optimism. My works follow the POP ART that flourished in the 1960s, giving me my first inspirations. Created with a playful mood, sometimes ambiguous and suggestive and sometimes, simply, delightfully, they aim to remind us of the beautiful side of life and, therefore, to lift our spirits.
The visual journey begins on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at 8:30 PM at the Grand Arsenal, and will last until May 20, 2026, I am waiting to see you there!” (Kostas Spanakis)
