Urban Art in Athens as far as I can remember, that is to say 20 years ago, was mainly composed of tags & graffiti. Today, the situation has changed and beautiful frescoes have come to punctuate our walks in neighbourhoods that were once a bit abandoned. To say that the city of Athens has evolved would be an understatement, it has literally been transformed! If we used to go there by obligation to reach the beautiful Cyclades, it is now worthwhile to linger in the neighbourhoods that are experiencing a new boom and even try to discover those that we could not really enter ten years ago. In the heart of Athens, Urban art is abundant, committed, and takes up with modernism the visual codes of representation of the Greek gods. A real delight for the eyes!<\/p>\n

Unquestionable star of Greek urban art, the artist INO<\/a> transforms Athens into a real standard!<\/h3>\n

INO <\/strong>is certainly the most internationally known Greek artist. His great discretion means that little is known about him, except that he is in his early forties and a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Art. This ghostly artist has quite simply transformed Athens into an open-air museum. His powerful, figurative style is used to serve his commitment with strength and perseverance. He sails hand in hand with the Greek people against the government’s austerity policy. Certain frescoes, such as the Lord’s supper depicting the leaders at the feast and the outstretched hands of the beleaguered people, speak volumes about his charge against this government starving the people.<\/p>
