The latest work by visual artist Vasilis Zografos, showcased at the Eleftheria Tseliou gallery, in Athens, includes an installation featuring seven large-scale paintings and two ceramic potteries placed on the floor.

The third solo exhibition of the assistant professor at the School of Visual and Applied Arts of AUTh’s Faculty of Fine Arts and founder of the Vita Zita studio, is titled À partir de ce rosier le monde commence. Upon the threshold of a beginning, the dynamics of a launching is manifested, performed in a point of convergence and contrast: shortly after a completion, but at once just before the kickoff of a new stride.

Speaking about the exhibition Thomas Symeonidis, Aesthetics and Philosophy professor at the Athens School of Fine Arts, underscores that “Vasilis Zografos is introducing an allegory of the indiscernible appearances of destiny through experimenting with the conjunctive rationales of the organic and the inorganic, the revelation and the concealment, of purity and heterogeneity. The visible is rendered incomprehensible. The painted pictures establish a welcomed zone of indeterminacy. A melancholic veil comes to human beings’ weakness to transcend their nature, the negative imprint they can be held accountable for. […] His core intention is to depict the selfsame notion as it repeats itself in a different way, the displaced behavioral images that emerge with an altered phenotype.”
