"21! New Greek Painting "is an exhibition about the present of new Greek painting, about its trends, its expressions, its interactions, its future.

The exhibition "21! New Greek Painting "includes 21 painters who open new, exciting and unexpected paths in contemporary Greek art. Without certainties and without explicit conceptions, the exhibition leaves the viewer to create his own paths, to give his own answers and to develop his own emotional relationships with the work and its enjoyment.
The exhibition is organized by the curatorial team Ex Situ (Eleni Koukou and Theofilos Trampoulis) in the city of Agios Nikolaos in Crete and expands the systematic program of contemporary art of the Municipality of Agios Nikolaos and its Cultural Organization. In near future the exhibition "21! New Greek Painting "will be reorganized in Athens.

Eighteen paintings by Nikos Moschos, coming from Private Collections as well as the Zoumboulakis Galleries along with two newly-created works of sculpture, will be on display between June 27th and September 26th, 2021 at Bazeos Tower in Naxos. About the exhibition, entitled "Animated Connotations", art historian Francesco Piazza wrote: "If modern painting is marked by a return to representation at the expense of both abstract and conceptual art, we owe it to artists like Nikos Moschos, who shapes his notion of art through a new visual idiom that is unpredictable and filled with dramatic and mature symbolism.
Moschos' art pounces on the senses like a punch in the gut or a flash in the eye. It is mesmerizing, anaesthetizing; it stirs up memory and all the senses. Each of his works contains the intention to describe forms and figures, starting with their cognitive process and their ability to create new worlds through global stereotypes—the reality from which we all originate and which we all believe to know.
The modular illustrative narrative countervails the immobility of the painting, automatically prompting the human perception to set the images observed in motion, giving rise to thoughts and feelings, while also infiltrating global archetypes through one’s own personal language.
The exhibition is an integral part of the program of the 21st Naxos Festival, which has been staged every summer at and around the Bazaios Tower, a listed 17th-century monument in the inland of Naxos. The Festival is carried out under the auspices and with the support of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports.

Zoumboulakis Galleries present Nikos Moschos’s solo exhibition “Adaptation conditions” on Thursday, February 13th, 2020 at 8 pm. He will present acrylics on canvas and works on paper, created during the last few years.
The main question in this body of work is the adaptation procedure in new conditions, the idea of continuous transition, the reconstitution of material, notions and consequently of human mentality. This theme is developed around individual thematics-occasions which have preoccupied artists for centuries now (and not artists alone).
