Another famous modern Greek painter is Alecos Fasianos. A student of Yiannis Moralis at the Athens School of Arts where he studied from 1956-1960. He continued his studies in lithography in Paris (1960-1963) on a scholarship from the French government. In the following years, he divided his time between the Greek and French capitals.
His first solo exhibition which was presented in 1960 at Gallery A23 in Athens was followed by many exhibitions in Greece and abroad, in cities such as Paris, Munich, Hamburg, Milan, Zurich, Stockholm, London, and Tokyo.
Among his appearances in international exhibitions are included the Biennale of Sao Paulo (1971), Venice (1971), and graphics at Baden Baden (1958). In addition to painting and engraving, he was involved with book illustration, applied arts, the writing of texts, and set design. He has also worked with the National Theatre (1975-1976-1978).
Ancient Greek vase patterns, the Byzantine and folk tradition, the painting of Theophilos, and various kinds of modern art are all found at the basis of Fassianos's artistic creation, which through clear and uniform colors, free and skilled craftsmanship, and a childlike feeling and sensitivity result in highly personal formations.
His work is dominated by the human figure characteristics are the figures of the bicyclist and the smoker, which appear again and again. He is also involved in still life.
