About

In a fertile and creative meeting, the compositions of Giorgos Tserionis and Katerina Zafeiropoulou coexist, looking for common sense codes and contact points, in a single visual environment. Everyone proposes his own version of memory, social realities and human condition at a critical time of transition and redefinition.

In Giorgos Tserionis creation the fantastic arrests, fragmentation and fragments, the process of decostruction and transformation, the parameters of time, experiencε and history, as well as the concept of utopia, play a leading role. His compositions, ambiguous and unconventional, meet their recipient by activating his cognitive mechanisms, seeking his emotional involvement, inviting him and inducing him to take part in a hermetically personal and by definition, collective experience. Drawings that hold pages of dictionaries with the etymology of the word "utopia" and plastered books with the same word engraved on their cover, ceramic models of an unexpected Babel Tower, or imprints of a monument with hands braided in prayer are presented and evaluated as exhibits of a fantastic, and current actual and contemporary, museum of "troubled times".

Between the interior (private) and external (public) space, Katerina Zafeiropoulou presents the fluid limits of an intermediate world constantly changing, who is tightly "inhabited" by objects of aesthetic design. The intensity, the precision and the delicacy, the elegance and the density of the linear elements that define the objects contours and are developed on superimposed transparent surfaces (on the base of which there are photographs) give a feeling of ambiguity, create complex lattices, labyrinthine paths. Katerina Zafeiropoulou "narrates" stories that reveal in their core the relationship, connection and dependence of people on objects, but also concepts such as ownership, accumulation, intimacy and loss. All these objects, which overwhelm human everyday life, carry memories, compose a paradoxical museum, an incomplete cultural "archive" of social structures, relationships and realities.
