Nicholas Kontaxis

Catch Me

19.03 - 18.05.2025

"Catch Me", a landmark exhibition by internationally acclaimed Greek-American artist Nicholas Kontaxis, offering an immersive artistic experience that merges creativity, inclusion, and resilience, will go on display at the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation.

Named in Forbes 30 Under 30, Kontaxis is known for his bold, large-scale paintings bursting with vibrant colours and energy. Despite significant personal challenges, he has captivated audiences worldwide with his art, delivering a message of freedom, joy, and perseverance.

The "Catch Me" exhibition features monumental paintings, as well as a large-scale interactive trampoline installation, symbolising support, freedom, and artistic expression. Originally designed as a rescue tool, the trampoline has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind artistic canvas, encapsulating the essence of the artist’s journey.

More than an art exhibition, "Catch Me" is a multi-sensory journey of colour, movement, and inspiration, inviting visitors to redefine the power of art as a personal and collective experience. The exhibition champions accessibility and inclusion, ensuring that art can be experienced by all, regardless of ability.

A comprehensive programme of initiatives accompanies the exhibition, including specialised workshops, school collaborations, and accessible guided tours.
