As we approach the 115th birthday of Greek artist Yannis Tsarouchis on January 13, we would like to point at our poster from the 1993 exhibition, “The Piraeus of Yannis Tsarouchis.” Born in Piraeus, the artist often turned to his hometown for inspiration, exploring themes like Greek identity, gender and masculinity, and the depth of human emotions. His work uniquely combined elements of Greek tradition with modernist influences, earning admiration for its ability to honor cultural heritage while reaching beyond it. Tsarouchis continues to inspire with his bold exploration of sensitive topics and his unwavering connection to his roots. His art invites us to reflect on how we can bridge tradition and innovation, honoring our origins while embracing broader perspectives.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful, prosperous, and peaceful New Year.
