PHAIDON
(PATRIKALAKIS) (1935-2017)
Born at Drama,
Phaidon (Patrikalakis) studied initially
at the Vakalo School in Athens and later (1960-1967) continued at the
Académie
Julian, the Académie
du Feu and the École
de Dessin Appliqué
a la Mode Historique, in
Paris. He presented his first one-man exhibition in Paris
(1961),
although he participated to group shows already since 1960, for other
to follow later in Greece and abroad. He had been stage
scenery
and costume designer for a series of theater performances both in
Greece and abroad. He had also published three albums with
his
work ("Aghion Oros - Kythnos", "Amorgos" and "Ia") and written a
number of books. He was engaged in sculpture as
well.
Anthropocentric with an intense naive character his work may be
considered being in the limits of abstract expressionism and surrealism
with a distinct personal style. Phaidon (Patrikalakis) passed
away
in Drama (2017).
