Gaitis (1923-1984) was a Greek painter and sculptor best known for his paintings of repeating men identically dressed in plaid jackets, a symbolic figure of alienation and uniformity- that was repeated in greater than life-size sculptural compositions, environments, and happenings. His work has been shown internationally, at venues including the Tel Aviv Museum; Salon de Mai, Paris; Biennale, Sao Paolo; Muzej Savremene Umetnosti, Belgrade; Des Centre Cultural des Beaux Arts, France; and Municipallite de Nikea, Athens.
