Through the eyes of an artist. Kypseli, Antonakis Christodoulou

YOUNG PATRONS

JUNE 25, 2025

Our Young Patrons joinned a walk led by Antonakis Christodoulou, the so-called Prince of Fokionos Negri, at Kypseli, one of the most interesting and controversial Athenian neighborhoods. An effort to introduce old and new myths of the area, places, people, streets and spots. From the Fokionos Negri and Agias Zonis pedestrian streets to the St. George’s and Amerikis squares, Historical buildings such as the Spiteris house and Lefteris Vogiatzis theatre, Assos the traditional coffee brewery and the Georgian bakery, the new and old bars like Foivos and Eprepe, Flower repair places and rare bookstores, Kypseli is a world of its own, maybe a modern mythological system, definitely worth discovering.

Antonakis was born in Athens in 1978. He studied painting and photography at the Athens School of Fine Art and Fine Art Media at the Slade School of Fine Art at UCL. His practice is based on paintings but also includes ceramics, collages, video, writing and photography. He has shown his work worldwide with the most recent group exhibition Great Affinities at the L’Appartement gallery, Geneva, The Library Show project at Alcova, Milan and a participation at Vima Art Fair in Limassol. His most recent solo show was the exhibition Seven Songs at Eleftheria Tseliou Gallery in Athens. He lives and works in Kypseli.
