Starting Friday, June 19, 2026, the FOUGARO ARTCENTER is organizing a major exhibition in Nafplio, dedicated to the work and “days” of the great Greek painter Christos Bokoros.

The exhibition titled “Christos Bokoros | The Diaries” draws its material from Christos Bokoros’s e-diaries (four volumes of diaries totaling over 1,480 pages) and presents paintings, archival photographs, and texts from the painter’s diary entries spanning the years 2012–2026. The material from 2012–2021 was published in conjunction with the exhibitions “Aspects of the Unseen” (Benaki Museum, 2016, Agra Publications) and “The Feast” (Benaki Museum, 2021, EKEP), respectively, while “e-Diaries III & IV” were printed in lieu of a catalog for Christos Bokoros’s exhibition at FOUGARO.

In the exhibition “The Diaries,” the public will have the opportunity for the first time to view, as part of an exhibition presentation, photographic works by the renowned painter, as well as diary entries that bring to the forefront those elements that shape and define him— all those things to which he remains steadfastly committed through his persistent, hands-on engagement with his art—his own face. Thirty-one paintings from the long, luminous spectrum of Christos Bokoros’s creative period, forty-four photographic works, and diary entries—highlights of biographical moments—form the core of his major exhibition at FOUGARO.

In Christos Bokoros words:

“ Everything I’ve written in recent years, from the time of the pandemic onward, under the pretext of invisible friends behind the luminous digital void of the screen—but with what clever mirrors does this ever-evolving technology ceaselessly envelop us! — are now printed, tangible books. Some of their photographs and writings will be exhibited for the first time alongside my own works—works in their own right. Paintings, photographs, texts, thoughts, and crafts, all coming together to hold onto life, to give it meaning, to give value to the moment, to turn memory into history, a thread, to tie together and weave our lives into a lineage—how can eternity be saved in the moment?—to nullify time, to make it a place, a philanthropic sensation, a visible image, to create the uncreated, to save whatever can be saved from the consciousness of oblivion and from the era’s merciless grasp. A futile endeavor, you might say. And yet… are there other ways for the soul to be saved?”
