ART-TRIBUTE:Sex, Humor, Innocence, in the work of Steve Gianankos

When I met him many years ago in A-D Gallery and I gave me an interview on the occasion of his solo exhibition that time, the way he spoke also his figure was completely contrary to his work. He is serious and robust, he narrated me about his life, that is shared between N. York (he was born in America in 1938) and Chania, that loves, where he works incessantly, creating a world of black and white, balancing between cartooning and drawing, innocence and gravity, hard reality and fairy tale, with a caustic humor, protagonist is the fantasy, the evident or covered sexuality, with the particular sensitivity that grips him as a person and artist.
