DIMITRIS YEROS

ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΆ - ΔΗΜΉΤΡΗΣ ΓΈΡΟΣ

Dimitris Yeros (Ελληνικά - Δημήτρης Γέρος), was born in 1948, is a Greek artist-photographer considered to be one of the most influential Greek artists of his generation. Yeros was born in a small town under the shadow of two mythical Greek mountains: Mount Parnassus and Mount Helicon. Not far from there were the museum of Thebes and the museum of Chaeronea, with the majestic lion, where he mostly gained knowledge and was influenced by ancient Greek history, mythology, and art.

Yeros has exhibited in countless Solo exhibitions around the globe, and his work is part of public and private collections at some of the most prestigious museums around the world, including the Tate Britain, National Portrait Gallery-London, The British Museum-London, and Museum Bochum Germany.

In addition, he is considered one of the pioneers of artistic movements in Greece, such as Body Art, Performances, and Video Art, and his beautiful surrealistic paintings are presented in galleries around the globe. In this article, we are delighted to present two of his magnificent projects to spotlight his over 30 years of life achievements in photography.
