“Human Conditions.”
Artist : Spryros Prokokiou
Term : April 1-May 27, 2023
Concept:
Spiros Procopiou’s art is a diverse and complex expression of human emotions. A common theme in his work is eroticism, which is often misunderstood as sexual. Eroticism is about embracing the physical body and celebrating its beauty and imperfections. It is equally indicative of an exploration of the duality of an individual’s personality, the chaos of life, and the concept of death. It has an orgasmic quality that evokes emotions. It depicts personal anguish.
Spiros’ work is positioned within the emerging genre of conceptual realism. In the work presented in this exhibition, Spiros uses pencil to represent romance and charcoal to represent domination, reflecting the complexities of the modern man through smoky textures. Each line is meant to map the body, sensually depicting the human form.
This art is an attempt to subvert the perfection’s on canvas. Procopiu’s work is not limited by gender or sexual orientation, but is a powerful statement for his self-expression. They depict fragments of remaining memories and highlight the impermanence of our existence. His influential voice in art celebrates our identity and explores the issues we face in life. His conceptual realism is an art form that blends abstraction and reality, challenging each viewer to look beyond the surface.
