Description
Pavlos was born in the Peloponnese in 1930. Since the 1960s he has pioneered a special technique that enables him to go beyond painting, using very thin sheets of paper (cut from advertising posters) to construct amazing three-dimensional objects. Each involves reconstructed everyday items with slightly modified scales and colours. The poetic works which result lend new enchantment to the world, and question the relationship between sculpture and portrayal. The multiple Pavlos has conceived for ANNUAL takes a Tree as its theme. He has constructed a mock still-life that exploits deliberately reinvented scales and colours – as if the act of sculpting consists above all of lending a new dimension to everyday motifs, one dependent both on our immediate environment and on the symbolization which makes us look to art in order to rediscover what lies at the heart of our dreams.
