AM is a big fan of Alexandros Vasmoulakis. Although he currently resides in Berlin, the young Greek artist dominates the urban skyline of his hometown Athens with enormous murals on the city’s high rise buildings. We love the blend of street and pop surrealist qualities in Alexandros’ work and his sharp use of color to create a sensation of movement. The scale on which he works and his ability to incorporate his pieces into their environment is very impressive.

Alexandros had his first solo show in Athens in February this year at a.antonopoulou.art. We were lucky enough to catch the show in person and were very impressed by what we saw. Here are a few of our favorite pieces.

Alexandros has a solo coming up at LeBasse Projects in 2010. We are very excited to see what he produces for this show, which will also mark his US solo debut.
