Pacific Breeze II (85/87)

Notes


Vasilis Avramidis uses oil on canvas to work with the idea of false perceptions in painting language. Gestural brushwork, painted objects and people are translated as pieces of land, which then become an ideal terrain for smaller scale landscapes, scenes and narratives. Avramidis explores the ability of painting language to speak about itself, while at the same time it incorporates worlds, which refer to external situations. Avramidis draws inspiration from video game mechanics, where game play can dominate over narrative and vice versa, resulting in barely manageable challenges which maintain the pleasure factor.

Avramidis is interested in locations which defy easy interpretation, fiction as a channel to address real-life concerns, the physicality of paint, 17th Century Dutch Still Life painting, Hollywood films, expressionistic distortion, science fiction, parody, mythology, and the process of moss, vegetation and land taking over disused objects or structures.

"Vasilis Avramidis graduated from Central Saint Martins, London with an MA in Fine Art in 2011, after completing a BA in Painting at Aristotle University in Thessaloniki.

Avramidis has exhibited widely, including five solo exhibitions in London, one in Tokyo, two in Thessaloniki and several group exhibitions in Europe, Asia and USA. Vasilis is exhibiting in Japan with Hiro gallery Tokyo, where he had a solo show titled "Host" in 2019, and participation in CAF at Museum of Modern Art Saitama, as well as Art Nagoya in 2016."
