Introduction
The text that follows
is written by the art historian
Polly Hatzimarkou, as an introduction
to the exhibition catalogue
"Angelos
Spartalis creates using a traditional form of art -oil painting on canvas. His painting,
however, simultaneously vital and plethoric, violent and sensitive, contradicts the above
definition (traditional). Figurative experimentations and combinations of colour, free
gesture and design techniques develop into unity-circles that close and open again,
transferring traits from one to the other and borrowing ideas and questions and finally
marking out an endless route, multicolored and gradually matured. Those bizarre circles
are the ones that do not let the artist fall into a category in the mainstream of art. In MoTeR
1 we present this work -from the "Reflections"
series to the most recent creations-; a -full of incentives- year's work. Deconstructed
bodies, urban environments extracted from their conventional nature, are assembled in such
a way that the tormenting conceptual suggestions of isolation, of the constructed human
identity and the hybrid body, of the fragmented man as a mass unit, are all recalled and
placed again in vigorous unruly representations."
