| Abri is
pleased to present its first solo exhibition, a showcase
of new works by the acclaimed Australian artist George Raftopoulos.
The Sydney Morning Herald advises viewers of George Raftopoulos’s
work to “expect big colors, bold ideas and a blast
of energy from his vibrant, abstract works,” while
The Australian Financial Review praises his “colourful
and complex paintings.” Mr. Raftopoulos’s
art has exhibited around the world, taking center stage
and entering the permanent collections at leading institutions
in France, Australia, the UK, Shanghai, Hong Kong and the
United States. His works have successfully sold through
both Sotheby’s and Christie’s auction houses.
In his new paintings, Mr. Raftopoulos has mapped out a collision
between ancient Greek mythology and his own narrative, filling
circular shapes with relics of his personal history and
building on a body of work that has long placed him among
the elite international artists of his generation.
Abri is a creative artists agency that takes a vital new
approach to representing New York’s foremost talent,
offering everything from career planning to customized exhibitions
on behalf of elite New York artists hailing from around
the world.
