GEORGE ZONGOLOPOULOS
Familiar projects,sculptures from his home and studio
Curated by Katerina Koskina
ROMA GALLERY in collaboration with the GEORGE ZONGOLOPOULOS FOUNDATION present the exhibition GEORGE ZONGOLOPOULOS: Familiar projects,sculptures from his home and studio, which is inaugurated on December 12th, 2019 and will run until February 29th, 2020.
The exhibition presents for the first time many “widely unknown” sculptures of medium and small scale created by George Zongolopoulos, that always accompanied the artist at his home and studio in Psychiko. Bronze, stainless steel, Plexiglas are media and raw materials of sculptures that have been crafted for about 50 years and cover different periods of creation of the renowned sculptor. These are complete artworks to which he returned sometimes to supplement them with new elements and sometimes to enlarge them or to borrow from them elements for new ones.
The exhibition could also be seen as a projection of the evolution of the artist’s creative thinking that has transcended the century, while remaining classical in terms of technique and education and contemporary and modern in the integration of new challenges and methods into his work.
The exhibits include two paintings that Zongolopoulos himself selected and produced in silkscreens seeking to emphasize his long time in the modernist movement but also his course in abstraction and technology.
The exhibition and the catalogue of the exhibition is curated by the art historian Katerina Koskina, collaborator and friend of George Zongolopoulos.
