Alexis Akrithakis (Greek, 1939-1994) (AR)
Collage Book, Berlin, 24-25 October 1978

The individual compositions employ geometric and abstract forms in vivid colours, including recurring architectural and organic motifs such as houses, trees and linear structures, characteristic of Akrithakis’ distinctive visual vocabulary. Across the pages, simple fragments of coloured paper are transformed into playful, rhythmic and poetic constructions, reflecting the artist’s spontaneous approach to image-making and his fascination with everyday materials.
inscribed in Greek on the final page ‘This book with seventeen collages was made in Berlin, 24-25/10 1978’, signed Alexis Akrithakis and inscribed Atelier Akrithakis. Dimensions: 10.50 x 7.90 cm
