\n Antonakis (b. 1978) is an artist based in Athens working with painting, photography, collage, and ceramics to explore the notion of myth – how does one build a myth, how does it survive in time and how does its meaning change. \n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

He extracts interior and psychological spaces from TV series and movies and uses them to create new spaces through abstraction, distortion and a unique visual language referencing Greek modernism. He’s interested in observing what one absorbs without realizing, what sort of images enter living rooms via the screen and how these are stored in the memory of the viewer and the collective consciousness. He does not want to create exact depictions but models of remembrances that question how the passing of time changes the meaning of something proving that what was once considered \u201ctrashy\u201d can gain generation-defining status.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
