Relying on different media (Painting, Ceramics, Photography), Vasilis Zografos proposes an aesthetic mimesis of an object generating a space of thought, contemplation and meditation.

For his series of works “Sole sound in the silence your footfalls” Zografos effectuates a double gesture of spatialization. On the one hand, transposing an object in the vertical surface of the canvas; on the other, positioning his ceramics on the ground and in relation to the painted image. It is about an indeterminate form of stillness, an economy of expressions that present ways of being developed in a perspective of intended dissimilarity of the similar.

More than a critique of representation, materiality and medium’ autonomy, there is an emphasis on aesthetic beauty and the pensiveness of objects and images. Achieving an active passivity, this is the mark of beauty; the expression of a radical indifference. But objects and images are as well containers of unthought thoughts. From this point of view, Zografos’ work can be seen as a powerful spatializing act, a proposition that invigorates expository values and invites the contemplative and performative gaze of the spectator.
