13 visual artists, graphic designers, street and tattoo artists created and present for the first time in Athens their work, in a group exhibition inspired by the great Italian composer. The initiative belongs to the Greek cultural association friends of Ennio Morricone’s music and refers to the presentation of visual work and image, inspired by the composer and his work.

The exhibition aims to bring together and in contact with a greater audience the artists who were inspired by the dynamics of Morricone’s music. His music is a way of thinking, an attitude, a philosophy, visualized in this exhibition through various creative techniques and visual writings. Every piece is inspired by his steps over the course of time. The participating visual artists were invited to depict Morricone not just as a representation or with references to his works, but to trace the notion, the impression and the feeling associated with the great composer.

The names of the artists are:  G.Antonopoulos, Ast.Dimitriou, G.Dimitriou, D.Dimopoulos, D.Kalogirou, Ast.Laskaris, C.Laskaris, S.Bakalis, P.Dolas, G.Petrou, C.Samaras, E.Sarli, Z.Seitani, Al.Mantzari, P. Tsioutras, PUPPET.
