Thessaloniki, Greece-based artist Vasilis Zografos substantiates the painting medium\u2019s enduring significance in today\u2019s digital image culture, against common claims of its demise, by examining the tension between memorialization and design, commemoration and utility, reflection and affordance. It draws on an archaeological tradition rather than a Modernist legacy to update the medium\u2019s bearing and contemporary relevance, from the localperspective of artistic development in Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, Modernism was imported quite late into Greek art, which missed out on the Renaissance\u2019s revival of Antiquity, on account of Ottoman rule. As a result, the country\u2019s longstanding aesthetic heritageremainsindebted, in great part, to ancient craft traditions, including ceramicfigurines and mosaic flooring, that have survivedinpartial, worn out and faded fragments. Renegingthe rigidByzantine painting tradition of Orthodox iconsdestined forpublic worship, Zografos revisits thisancient design heritage through the archival documentation and mediated displays of old museum catalogues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His worksdeliberately abandon the aura of the finished masterpiece in favour of ghostlystudies of restored Antiquestatuettes and plaster replicas. These refurbished and crafted copies gain, in the painter\u2019s studio, both an added layer of virtuality \u2013 as painted reproductions of archival photographsdocumenting staged archaic facsimile \u2013 and a more substantial presence, owing to the trace imprint, patina and dust left on the works\u2019 surface through their repeated use bythe artist assource material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, Zografos confronts the painting medium\u2019s exhausted art history with the hyper-mediated virtuality and functional design of ancient craft traditions, more in tune with today\u2019s fragmented and instrumentalizeddigital image culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephanie Bertrand,Curator<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vasilis Zografos \u201cStudio of Archeo-virtual Spiritings\u201d This latest series of the work by Thessaloniki, Greece-based artist Vasilis Zografos substantiates the painting medium\u2019s enduring significance in today\u2019s digital image culture, against common claims of its demise, by examining the tension between &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/vasiliszografos.com\/?portfolio=studio-of-archeo-virtual-spiritings\">\u03a3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b5\u03c7\u03af\u03b6\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":564,"menu_order":990,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"kt_blocks_editor_width":""},"portfolio-type":[6],"kb_featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/vasiliszografos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Vas_Zog_227-copy-720x1024.jpg",720,1024,true],"kb_author_info":{"display_name":"vaszog","author_link":"https:\/\/vasiliszografos.com\/?author=1","author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/bbb05d3bc105e6f97d120ff2beb52340?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"kb_comment_info":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vasiliszografos.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/622"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vasiliszografos.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vasiliszografos.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vasiliszografos.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vasiliszografos.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=622"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vasiliszografos.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vasiliszografos.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vasiliszografos.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fportfolio-type&post=622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
