Patroklos Skafidas

Antennas

The sky dominates this body of work presented by Patroklos Skafidas creating a sense of freedom; a freedom that is restricted by the elements that are tied to the ground: the electric cables, the kite strings, the top of the roofs. A geometry is present in a non absolute way as it gets interrupted by organic shapes.

“The paradox of the city had always been a visual threat for me. I needed a way out of the Greek urban landscape; and the only place that I managed to escape was upwards. In a middle zone. Where I was not running away from my pursuer but gained a pure contact with freedom. Completing this series, I realise that I have started to come to terms with the urban images, to almost like them and anything touching the broken sidewalks of the city and the turmoil of people. And, if you take one step back all these can become abstract concepts and if you take one more, they can become colors."
