<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\nMathew Halpin is an Australian visual artist and theater set designer, who lives and works in Heraklion. Two months ago, two of his paintings were featured on the cover of ATHENS VOICE: \u201cSuicide Matroshka\u201d and \u201cTsipras as Kolokotronis\u201d. His solo exhibition, called “Painted Journey” is now at Grecotel Palace in Athens. Mathew’s paintings are often satire and reflections of our society and human relations. He mostly uses retro and kitsch images, thereby contrasting the underlying serious messages.<\/p>\n
In this presentation, for the first time, he will show his painting titled “Tsipras as Kolokotronis”, which was featured on the cover of ATHENS VOICE just after the elections in January 2015. Mathew says about the painting: “Kolokotronis was a general and a leader of the independence war. Alexis Tsipras represents a new kind of hero. One we hope will fight for our independence from countries who want to rule us with debit.”\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The evening will continue with a ResidenceSEA’s party with a mix of DJ’s playing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photo credits:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ResidenceSEA presents Mathew Halpin: Tsipras as Kolokotronis On Saturday, 7th of March 2015, at 20:00, ResidenceSEA will open the season with a presentation and talk by the artist Mathew Halpin.
