“Nicholas Kontaxis – Catch Me” exhibition preview

The B&E Goulandris Foundation invites all B&E Members to an exclusive preview of the temporary exhibition "Nicholas Kontaxis – Catch Me" on Monday March 17.

The exhibition “Catch Me”, a celebration of the power of human will and inclusion, brings to Greece for the first time the work and story of artist and Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree Nicholas Kontaxis, who has transformed the challenges of his life into an explosive artistic language filled with strength, emotion and optimism.

Nicholas, living with severe physical and developmental challenges and having experienced over 75,000 seizures, uses art as his only means of expression, creating large-scale works that convey a global message of resilience and inspiration.

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore a recreation of Nicholas’ original studio, while at the heart of the exhibition stands the signature trampoline artwork – once a rehabilitation tool, now transformed into a canvas. Symbolising solidarity and renewal, it invites the audience to see life with fresh eyes and courage.

The exhibition “Catch Me” is complemented by accessible activities and educational programmes, in collaboration with the Nevronas team and the Leonteios School in Nea Smyrni, that enhance visitor experience and highlight the importance of inclusion and empathy through art.

B&E Members will have the exclusive opportunity to visit the exhibition before the official opening in two different time slots, at 18.00-19.00 and 19.00-20.00. The exhibition’s curator Arthur Lewis along with some of the Foundation’s tour guides will welcome B&E Members and will be available to answer questions.
