Grigoris Semitecolo

Opening March 4 at 389 Grand Street, this first New York exhibition of Grigoris Semitecolo presents landscapes from 1991–2003. A figure in Greece’s experimental scene, Semitecolo fused performance and philosophy. His late paintings reduce millennia of architecture—from Cycladic forms to skyscrapers—into stark geometries set against burning sunsets. Ancient columns and modern towers share a horizon, asking what our monuments mean as day turns to dusk.
