NYFA Congratulates Basil Alkazzi on Current Exhibition at George Billis Gallery

NEW PAINTINGS IN NEW YORK CITY THROUGH MARCH 28 

A prolific and compulsive painter, Basil Alkazzi will present recent paintings in a solo exhibition at George Billis Gallery through
March 28. The opening reception will be Thursday, March 5, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM at
George Billis Gallery, 525 West 26th Street, Ground Floor, New York
City. 

Basil’s paintings are characterized by spiritual and
metaphysical components, and depictions of flora and nature with emotional
resonance. “His paintings represent the materialization of poems in visual
terms unwritten yet redolent of many remembered. Time and growth are instrumental
in motivating his imagery” – George Billis Gallery

A cosmopolitan, Basil
has traveled extensively and for long periods of time through the whole of
Western Europe, and for a time he lived in Greece. Since 1985 he became
enamored with America, and all that it stands for and as­pires to, and since then
he has continued to spend periods of time in New York. From 1995 until 2000 he
was granted residence in the USA as:  An
Artist of Exceptional Ability in the Arts. He now resides in the Principality
of Monaco, in the south of France. 

Congratulations, Basil!
