Thanassis Lalas, a man of many interests and wide artistic talent, has dedicated his life to Art, for the past 19 years. After a notable carrier as a journalist and progressive publisher, he has now chosen painting as a path to the creation of an innovative, pictorial language, which has been the result, not only of his studious interest in masterpieces, exhibited in museums around the world, but also of his close, personal contact with renowned personalities of the art world. Placing the human being in the center of his work, he uses poetic surrealism to create a unique imagery of a fantasy world.

Lalas, through his visual art, which in many instances integrates writing as well, recounts the inner processes and diverse realities of human existence. Placing emphasis οn clear lines, he creates flat-colored surfaces, using black outlines to give us grotesque figures with waving movement and chromatic intensity, presented on large or small canvasses, on his characteristic sculptures, on restaurant tablecloths, doors, walls or any other utility object. His unique compositions are full of passion, fantasy, exuberance, irony and humor. To him, genuineness of expression is the highest artistic goal, since: “When you do things passionately and with soul, you create culture”.

Thanassis Lalas was born in Athens, in 19… and he is currently spending his time between Athens, Paris and Miami. He has studied Economics at the Law School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and he has worked as a journalist for the most prestigious newspapers and magazines, having taken 3.500 interviews of great public figures. He is also the creator of 33 innovative and very successful magazines. In 2003, he was awarded the “Alekos Lidorikis Award” of the University of Athens, for his journalistic contribution.

He has presented his work in many individual and collective exhibitions, in Greece, as well as abroad. Many of his creations can be found in public and private collections.

 

Art can transform nothing into something, time into eternity and Man on this earth, into a bird with feathers flying in the sky…

"Art does not turn its back on walls. It simply claims more space. Art has for years gone out on the streets, accompanies us in our everyday life, and rounds up in everyday objects to make the usual unusual. This was the reason I thought about the holistic dimension of my artwork. I always believed that the moment of drinking a cup of coffee is a ritual that needs its tools to be unique, to present the importance of the moment. The same thing applies with the gathering of friends around a table in order to fill their hunger without losing their time without extinguishing their taste. Cutlery and dishes that are small art objects make a dinner a source of inspiration. Interventions in lighting fixtures, chairs, tables, clothes, shoes, bags, glasses. Jewelry, scarves ... They are all sources of inspiration. Picasso's ceramics, Dali's sofa, Botero's sculpted tables, Mendini's wristwatches, Sottsass teapots, Philip Stark's scepter are works of art that are used and change our everyday life. The purpose of the artist is to transform everyday life, to give another meaning to the experience, to add another point of view to the ordinary”
