KYRIAKOS KATZOURAKIS (1944)
Born in Athens, Kyriakos
Katzourakis studied painting at the School of Fine Arts (1963-1968)
with Yannis Moralis and stage scenery (1966-1968) with Vassilis
Vassiliadis. He continued his studies in London at St. Martins School of Art (1973-1974) and at Croydon
College of Art (1974-1975), where he took lessons
on silk printing. He had his first one-man exhibition in Athens
(1966). His work was shown in a series of other
solo and group exhibitions in Greece and abroad as well. Parallel
to painting he was also engaged with stage scenery and costume design
for the Greek movie industry. He has been awarded with the
"Parthenis Prize" of the "Astor" competition (1969). He is a founding member of the
group "New Greek Realists" (1969). His work is
distinct for its critical realism and has an intense expressionist
style. He lives and works in Athens.
