Athens, Greece – The B&E Goulandris Museum proudly presents “Catch Me”, a powerful exhibition by Greek-American artist Nicholas Kontaxis, running from March 18 to May 18, 2025. Kontaxis, known for his vibrant and textured abstract paintings, has defied significant physical and developmental challenges, including a seizure disorder, to become an internationally recognized artist.

This exhibition marks his highly anticipated debut in Greece, forging a meaningful connection between his ancestral heritage and his global artistic acclaim. The centerpiece of “Catch Me”—a trampoline reimagined as a canvas—serves as a poignant symbol of resilience, reflecting both the struggles and triumphs of his journey.
More than just an art exhibition, “Catch Me” is a groundbreaking initiative in accessibility.

Developed in partnership with Nevronas, it features adapted guides, interactive programs, and a fully accessible environment to welcome all visitors. Additionally, Kontaxis collaborates with Leonteios School of Nea Smyrni to inspire young minds through creative workshops focused on perseverance and self-expression.
The exhibition opens with a special event on March 18, bringing together cultural leaders, policymakers, and art enthusiasts. With remarks from his mother, Krisann Kontaxis, “Catch Me” promises to be a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the transformative power of art.
