See I See #5: Gregoris Semitecolo
We visit the opening of Gregoris Semitecolo at Ramiken Gallery in NYC's LES. The art world loves a rediscovery, and there's a bit of a buzz in town about Ramiken's recent offering*. Semitecolo is one of Greece's celebrated national artists, whose works are in the collections of the National Gallery of Greece and the Athens Municipal Gallery. A pioneering conceptual artist in the 60's, he focused his attention solely on painting in 1984 until the end of his life in 2014.
I went to the opening, snapped a few pics and jotted a few notes, observations about a peculiar artist who marched to his own drummer. (Isn't that what we all should do anyway?)
*I didn't notice until deep into this production that Ramiken has a gallery in Athens. At lest it is an address important enough to list at the bottom of their website. Could be an important detail.
