Giorgos (also mentioned as Yorgos or Georges) Ioannou (1926 – 2017)[1] was a Greek artist born in Athens. He is considered to have been one of the main representatives of the Pop Art movement in Greece.
In his work by adopting the main aspects of pop art and utilizing the techniques employed by comic books, he turned to satirizing social and political reality, creating compositions with a surrealistic atmosphere and symbolic allusions.[2]
