The Artist

Based in Athens but constantly on the move, Vassilis Karakatsanis is the archetypal prolific artistic, sought after internationally. His thematic choices and personal artistic vocabulary are informed by his experience and observation of the surrounding world. There is a strong theatrical attitude in his approach, transforming the mundane every day objects into structural elements of his work. He uses a clean and rich colour palette along with vivid contrasts and sensitively researches the limits between reality and illusion.
He has exhibited his work in solo shows in Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Italy, Indonesia, Germany and Ecuador, and participated in numerous group exhibitions and Art Fairs internationally. His artworks, for which he has received several awards and distinctions, can be found in private and public collections, as well as in Museums and Cultural Foundations around the world.
