Inside the artist’s atelier on the Greek island of Kea.
Two large fish on a plate, served on a table beside a single chair, seem to await a lone guest on a checkerboard tiled terrace. Drawn with playful watercolor strokes of red, green and blue, on a scrap of paper that the artist likely had to hand, the scene has a disarming simplicity. At the top, in the artist’s handwriting, it reads: “Good fish of Kea.” It welcomes you as you step over the threshold of Alekos Fassianos’ house: A homage to the Greek island it sits on—and its fish—that captures the unpretentious spirit of the artist.
