Inside Nile - Paschalis Aggelidis Painting

Artwork from painter Paschalis (Paschalis Aggelidis) Often we use an idea in order to understand the reality. The artist skilfully isolates it and makes it stand out the immobility of the ancient statues, that are imbued with continuity. Then he transfers to these portraits, human feelings and he unexpectedly creates a theatrical scene, where the confessional monologue is prevailing. Aggelidis compromises indirectly the duration of human feelings. The artist adopts a negative stand against the art of antiquity of anxiously tries to relieve the contemporary man from the excessive seriousness and the mechanical way of living, offering himself the pleasure of questioning through his paintings. The sophist Gorgias in one of his juridical speeches supports that in tragedy and in painting the one who cheats more, creating creatures similar to real ones, he is the best, because the poet’s and the technician’s goal is not the truth, but the people’s pleasure Paschalis was born in Alexandroupoli on February 1955.
