Zoumboulakis Galleries present the solo show of Nikos Lagos titled “Withdrawal”. The exhibition will showcase the most recent work of the artist and will be on display from February 8 to March 10 2018.
The art-historian Yiannis Bolis writes: “In a highly personal style, Nikos Lagos processes a body of pictorial references which he combines, integrates and transforms into original, imaginative works and organises the painterly field of his narratives. Through intensive colour or an almost monochromatic rendering, through schematisation and simplification his compositions directly and deliberately allude to children’s paintings or graffiti. Μost of the times their space appears densely ‘inhabited’, giving the impression of a peculiar dotted surface, a handwritten postmodern code or a visual riddle, a semantic script dominated by the connection between signifier and signified, between physical presence and mental construct.
