Alexis Kyritsopoulos visits “Our Town” | 03 Feb. 2025, 22:00

On Monday, February 3rd, from 22:00 to 23:00 (Athens time), the show Our Town will host Alexis Kyritsopoulos.

The visual artist, recently awarded by the Academy of Athens for his lifetime work, joins Themis Rodamitis in an engaging discussion about the “sources” of his inspiration and the significant encounters in his life. He will recall his early years, vividly bringing to life his old neighborhood, Exarchia.

He will talk about his introduction to the magazines of the time, his first experiences with painting and illustration, and his relationships with fellow visual artists (Karras, Tsoklis, Mavroidis, Baharian, D. Fotopoulos, among others). Special mention will be made of his long-standing and highly creative collaboration with Dionysis Savvopoulos, as his illustrations grace the covers of the songwriter’s albums.

The conversation will also touch on his time in Paris at a young age, as well as the imaginary landscapes of Athens, which he will bring to life through his artistic vision.

Alexis Kyritsopoulos will discuss his illustrated books, poetry, humor, fairy tales, light, color, and aesthetics in the visual arts today.

The show will feature music from the composers whose albums Kyritsopoulos artistically enriched with his distinctive and memorable cover designs (Savvopoulos, Hatzidakis, Xydakis, Loizos).

Produced and presented by Themis Rodamitis

Broadcast: Monday, February 3, 2025, 22:00-23:00 (Athens time)

Rebroadcast: Tuesday, February 4, 2025, 04:00-05:00
