RECENT
PAINTINGS
Born in Argostoli,
Cefallonia.
He studied
free design in a workshop in Athens and took a diploma in the law department
of Athens University. From 1984 he followed art history and painting at
the New School in Manhattan, New York, taking classes from Pearl Ehrlich
and Allen David.
From 1986-1993
he was artistic director of the Dada gallery in Athens.
Mr. Evangelatos
is a member of the Kefallonian Society of Historical Research, the Heraldic
and Genealogical Society of Greece, the Greek Byron Society, and the Greek
Artists Chamber.
In general
lines or conceptual his development starts with a peculiar poetic realism
with symbolic extension and proceeds in individual studies and designs
with colorful processing. The major element in his recent work is the use
of the written meaning, which charges comprehensively a body or a plane.
