On Friday, 8th April 2022, in classroom YK1 at 11.00 -12.00, in the frame of the courses “VIS230-Color-Drawing”, and “AVA830-Reconstruction of Technical Images”, the faculty members: Konstantinos Tiligadis ( Assoc. Professor), Spyros Verykios (Asst. Professor), Maria Argyrokastriti (Special Educational Personnel) and Maria Krigka (Special Educational Personnel), invite you at the lecture of the reknowned Greek painter George Rorris, who will give an artist talk and Q&A.

George Rorris shall be in Corfu on the occasion of his exhibition under the title “Woman” that is going to take place in the Municipal Gallery from 8th of April until 31st of May 2022 with works from the collection of Sotiris Fellios and curating by Rosalia Adamopoulou.

George Rorris belongs in the generation that appeared in the Greek art scene in the mid 80's. He is one of the most representational artists of his generation, creating realistic works and working exclusively with subjects that pose in his studio.

Born in the village of Kosmas of Kynouria (Arcadia, Peloponnese) in 1963, George Rorris was a student of Panagiotis Tetsis and Yiannis Valavanides at the Athens School of Fine Arts (1982-1987). He went on to pursue his studies at the Parisian École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts under Leonardo Cremonini (1988-1991) thanks to a Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation scholarship coupled with a P. Bakala Brothers Foundation grant. In Athens, George Rorris worked with the cultural centre Apopsi from 1996-2002. In 2002 he began working with ‘Simio’ Art Group, where he tutors painters. In 2001 he received the Academy of Athens award for new painters under the age of 40. In 2006 the Alexandros S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation conferred an honourable distinction for his work. He maintained a permanent collaboration with Medusa Art Gallery, in Athens, since his first solo exhibition there in 1988, until 2017. Works by him can be found in public and private collections. He lives and works in Athens
