For
many years, Apostolos Kilessopoulos has transformed astral phenomena
into mixed media relief paintings of
monumental presence and emotional charge. Drawing on the spectacular
patterns of fractals and principles of string and chaos theories, his
complex orchestrations generate pictorial spaces that collapse our sense
of time and depth, of mass and void, akin to the Eastern notion of nirvana.
Vessels of bundled data or coded ideograms, the works also chart a metaphoric "brain" of
the cosmos as passages of two-dimensional painting along with painted
strings and paper energetically weave the illusory and the real. Virtuoso
webs of contrapuntal lines-its neural pathways- dance over the surface
of his canvases with speed and grace, and instill a sense of dynamic
equilibrium. Sarah Tanguy |
