\n Socrates Fatouros\u2019 work is centered around a time-based practice, constantly aiming to re-construct our approach towards experiencing and viewing the world and ourselves. He creates palimpsest paintings and sculptures, mnemonic images and fictions that are focused on stories, personal experiences and images from places that can no longer be experienced.\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

Working on their imaginary reconstruction, through sketches and personal notes, as well as through the utilization of materials commonly used for construction purposes such as bitumen sheets and liquid polyurethane, Fatouros engraves a unique form of writing with the use of combustion. After successive chemical interventions the works take their final abstract form or “non-form”.<\/p>\n

He holds a master\u2019s degree in Athens School of Fine Arts (2017-2019) and he is a graduate with Bachelor studies from Athens School of Fine Arts (2001), and School of Fine Arts of Valencia (1998).
