Catalogue Note
After studying painting under Yannis Moralis at the Athens School of Fine Arts between 1956 and 1960, Fassianos was awarded a scholarship by the French government to study lithography at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in the early 1960s. Recognized in both France and his Greek homeland, Fassianos received the prestigious Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres in 1975, and was honoured by the Academy of Athens in 1999. Fassianos has published articles and books, designed sets and costumes for the National Theatre and National Opera in Athens, amongst others. In recent years Fassianos has further broadened his spectrum to incorporate jewellery, medal, poster and industrial design into his oeuvre, with some of his works decorating the Metaxourghio Station of the Athens Metro.
