Art Association Cathrine is pleased to present the third artistic work within the framework of the Excluded Form project. The project provides a venue within a public space where the public can intersect through a visual intervention by artist Alexis Vayianos.
The artist’s work will be printed on the façade of a building in construction in ETKO Cyprus in Limassol. This construction has been selected as the place and the platform of an encounter between the artist’s large-scale work “Dark Blue” and passersby, the very participants of the surrounding space. The objective of the action is to prompt conversation between the installation piece and the general public of Limassol.
DARK BLUE
Dark blue is a mixed-media installation of oil colour and acrylic, wood, and cutouts by hand. In his large-scale work, Vayianos treats patterns with great detail and dedication, repeating select traits or themes, like leitmotifs, to finally construct a unique composition. The chair as subject and object is a firm recurrence but also a polymorphous one, something that has the potential to morph into myriad positions and capacities, fragments and adjoined parts. It is also a feature of focus in Vayianos’ work over the last few years. For Dark Blue, he worked with kids between the ages of 3 and 6, who made drawings of chairs as they pictured them in their individual minds.
