Abstract
-
" 'Deconstructive 1' consists of two canvases, placed vertically from the ceiling to the floor. It represents fragments of rosaries defining different areas of the painting surface. The central theme is the imprinting of the concept of wish through the symbol of the rosary. An artistic research on form and colour, thus creating conditions for the manifestation of different intentions of the different communities that coexist in the city of Sofia. I used the canvas as a fabric beyond the painting surface, because, in this way, it creates and activates the space with its plasticity. It is a painting of the retina, which changes and transforms according to the viewer’s point of view, thus highlighting the hidden intention within the same entity, soul, community." Ennios Eros Giogos
In this work, the image of the rosary is the main element that brings together the vision of the artist. This object, which is so typical of the Balkans, acts as a graphic sign, a symbol of the unity and connectedness of different cultures gathered in society. The rosary connects paper strips hanging from the ceiling of the gallery: the bright yellow and blue coloured spots give this extremely clean image a modern twist. This work is painted in a calligraphic manner, ala prima, on the floor of the studio, with a wooden stick dipped in paint.
