Kostantinos Spiropoulos – The Versions of the Myth
23/07/2022 – 31/07/2022
Contemporary thinking claims that space is not void. It is connected with the creation of instantly formed “virtual” particles, which fill the void the virtual space, leaving clear traces of their activities, one of which is visual excitation. Ironically, our vision, our means of seeing and getting to know the world, is partially “blind”, as it cannot tell many small particles apart and interprets them as one. Thus, based on our vision, we form a distorted view of the real world of forms as Plato describes it. Because the world is formed by both mater and space. Space however, is a vacuum that bubbles, full of field escalations, a soup of virtual particles constantly coming to life and dying. Space is there. It is dynamic, a developing entity, it is not static nor empty, it is the scrim on which our “visible” world’s shadow theatre is performed. Figures hold leading roles in the theatre of life, the scrim acting as the prerequisite for the play. Painting is the soughtafter, colourful maiden exploring the truth in the play and the roles. Because in the play called life, the subject is very important, but the distribution of roles is ridiculous.
