Todd James recently launched his first solo exhibition at Dio Horia Gallery on Mykonos, Greece. Dubbed “The Gods Are Smiling on Us,” the presentation spotlights new artworks by the influential NYC-based artist. A total of nine paintings and twelve drawings are on display at the gallery’s three-story building. These pieces draw inspiration from the summer atmosphere of the Greek island such as bikini-clad female subjects relaxing at the seaside to vivid interior scenes of villas.
