Alexandros Vasmoulakis is a very fascinating Greek artist I recently came across.
The revolution begins from within. Deviating Greece’s political inanity Alexandros Vasmoulakis introduces his individuals, as he refers to his figures, in a massive, dark and white, melting party. “Individual means indivisible”, says Vasmoulakis, “any singular thing, the basic unit, subject or object, the one who suffers or the one who hurts, a bachelor or the couple among strangers, any specific object in a collection”. Yet individuals interweave in front of Vasmoulakis’s eyes in an unforeseen way.
His present work culls from faces and sentiments. Wide-open colorful eyes, shattered bodies, at times dynamic at times paralyzed isolated or coupled Vasmoulakis’ individuals debate openly with the audience in the most sharp and eloquent way. Hey Ho! they scream through Syd Barrett’s lyrics, Here we go ever so high, rising in revolt initially against some obscure, erotic probably, opponent but essentially against their same self.
