The exhibition "Yiannis Moralis. A Tour of Athens" is the first collaboration between Athens International Airport and the Yannis Moralis Laboratory.

The purpose of the exhibition is to introduce the passengers and visitors of Athens Airport to the leading Greek painter, engraver, set designer and teacher, who left an indelible mark on the country's visual arts.

Yannis Moralis, through his work, formulated a modern version of "Greekness" and incorporated elements of ancient and modern Greek culture, alongside the influences of European modernism. His artistic pursuits, his architectural compositions, his artistic intervention in the public space and his contribution to the applied arts, made him an emblematic form of modern Greek art.

The main idea of the exhibition is to connect the Airport, which is the first gate of the city of Athens and Greece in general, with the wider work of Yiannis Moralis. For this purpose, an enlarged model for a ceramic wall composition, created by the painter for the New Athens City Hall on Liosion Street, was installed in the exhibition space, which depicts a fantastic timeless view of the city, in the style of Moralis. With the graphic separation of the main show from its shadows and the blue of the sky and the sea, the installation brings Moralis' draft to life and turns it into a three-dimensional setting that invites the visitor to discover it.

The exhibition was designed exclusively for the exhibition space of the Airport "Art & Culture".
