Description
Thanasis Lalas was born in Athens. He studied Economics at the Aristotle University in Thessaloniki. He worked as director and editor of the largest newspaper in Greece by circulation “To Vima tis Kyriakis”, he created the inserts “To Allo Vima”, “Vima Donna” and “VIMAgazino” as well as the bestseller magazine for young people “FREE” and the free press.
A self-taught artist, Thanasis Lalas has a “holistic” approach to life; and this is what characterises him because he is an artist that is not limited to a single art form. He began by drawing notebooks of daily notes and appointments, art diaries and, at the same time, he began to draw on restaurant tablecloths and on everyday objects creating his own unique and artistic world, the world of Thanasis Lalas.
Over the past fifteen years, he has devoted himself to painting and sculpture. He lives between Athens, Paris and Miami. During this period, he has presented his work in various exhibitions. He presented his work in five solo exhibitions, in Athens (Skoufa Gallery), Thessaloniki (Artion Gallery), Nicosia (Alpha C.K. Art Gallery), Paris (Opera Gallery) and Miami (Benrimon Gallery at the Scope Art Fair).
