YANNIS
PSYCHOPEDIS (1945)
Born
in Athens, Yannis Psychopedis studied painting and etching at the
School of Fine Arts (1963-1968) and subsequently, with the help of a
scholarship, he continued at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in
Munich (1971-1975).
From 1971 to 1992 he lived
abroad (Munich, West Berlin and Brussels). He had his first
solo
exhibition in Athens (1966).
He has also exhibited his
work in solo and group shows both in Greece and abroad. He
was a
member of the "Art Group A" and a founding member of the Center for
Pictorial Art in Athens (1974).
In 1975 he
was named member of the "Art Group 10/9" of Munich and in 1977 won the
"Art Program" scholarship of the city of West Berlin.
In 1994 he was elected professor at the School
of
Fine Arts in Athens. At this specific painting elements from
comics and mail-art coexist with a critical expressionism. He
lives and works in Athens and Berlin.
