Thirteen visual artists present their works and cite works by important colleagues (Greek and foreign), who inspired or influenced their aesthetics and style.
Through the presentation of the artists themselves, the universality of visual art and how this universality - through their work - is constituted and influenced by incorporating elements from their experiential and spiritual tradition and experience. The Athens School of Fine Arts has been an advisor to the series.
Today:
"Aristomenis Theodoropoulos"
Episode 5
Aristomenis Theodoropoulos, artist, graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts (2005--2010), with solo and group exhibitions to his credit, talks to us about his work, part of which is presented these days, in his third solo exhibition entitled “EXO” (“OUTSIDE”) which is hosted at METS Arts Centre. His artistic journey begins with representational painting, which, in his current work, however, is depicted with a freer expression.
He also chose to talk to us about two important artists, Yannoulis Halepas, with the vulnerability and drama of whοm he identifies mentally and Francis Bacon, as the study of his work and the repeated motifs of his painting have had a deep influence on him.
