ART GALLERY GALANOPOULOS -OIA SANTORINI

Art Gallery Santorini Oia Greek Artist Stavros Galanopoulos 3-dimensional illusionism The play between sensation, perception and representation fascinates me. Within my work, I try to set up relationships that confound our conventional understandings of ‘realistic representation’ and replace them with ideas about visual language and subjective experience, a kind of visual trickery in witch painted forms seem to be real.I make work which can be seen as both sculptural and pictorial, where the 3-dimensional illusionism of the image conflicts with the actual dimensionality of the object upon which it is drawn. Or i may make work which is simultaneously figurative and conceptually abstract. In all cases the goal is to build a relationship between the subject matter, the representation of the subject and the materiality of the object which reveals something about what goes on beneath the surface of my own consciousness Art Gallery Santorini Oia Greek Artist Stavros Galanopoulos Art Gallery Santorini Oia Greek Artist Stavros Galanopoulos Art Gallery Santorini Oia Greek Artist Stavros Galanopoulos Art Gallery Santorini Oia Greek Artist Stavros Galanopoulos Art Gallery Santorini Oia Greek Artist Stavros Galanopoulos Art Gallery Santorini Oia Greek Artist Stavros Galanopoulos Art Gallery Santorini Oia Greek Artist Stavros Galanopoulos
