Antonis Tsakiris

Tsakiris chooses to work in a variety of visual idioms, focusing primarily on a representational style, which he offers us in a complex and personal manner.
The themes of his recent group of paintings concern the teeming urban landscape and its labyrinthine movements to and fro.
The painter conveys to his audience a mosaic of images.
Each image seems to penetrate the other, thereby creating a collage of densities, and above all the dynamic tensions of a multilateral space of varied rhythms that plays host to the individual solitudes that make up the diverse organism of a modern city.
Reality is translated into its multiple anxieties for life.
What is more, senses and impressions, truth and deception, bring this reality onto the same level as the imaginary, emerging through TV screens, and photographic scenes, as, blended together, they cross into the subconscious, giving shape to the landscapes within our minds.
