Dimitris Papaioannou

Primal Matter

What lies behind Dimitris’ duet with Tadeu? What intentions underlie the artist’s decision to return to the stage bound up so closely with a symbol as primeval as the nude male body?
 
In an era of unfulfilled expectations, Dimitris Papaioannou essays a reflection on individual and Greek identity using the most basic of the painter’s tools: a panel, a dustbin, a body, himself and—most importantly—a perceptive gaze and poetic disposition which knows how to disperse the superfluous and focus on the essential.
