Exhibition
A Different Kind of Pop: Giorgos Ioannou’s Works 1960s – 1970s
at The Hellenic Centre between 08 Oct – 19 Nov
Free entry
Marking the centenary of the birth of Giorgos Ioannou (1926–2017) this exhibition is the first significant presentation of the artist’s work in the UK. Focusing on works produced between the late 1960s and 1970s – a period shaped by the Greek military dictatorship – these distinctive works explore the political undercurrents that emerged in Ioannou’s practice during that time. Although exceptionally prolific in Greece, Ioannou’s work remains relatively unknown in the UK. This exhibition introduces his striking paintings to a wider international audience, highlighting his passion for democracy and human rights.
