On Friday the 30th
of January opens at ASTROLAVOS-artlife an exhibition of lighting
constructions by the artist Panagiotis Dradakis.
The canvases used at Dradaki's artistic constructions
are not painted but constitute an artistic proposal which
is used as a basis for other inspired materials; the final
result composes an artwork-object of high aesthetics. The
square canvas, which is the dominating shape, constitutes
the feedstock of the artist's work that is then connected
to other materials for the creation of three- dimensional
constructions. In combination to the light, the works acquire
another dimension between the source of light and the lighted
medium.
The artist aims in underlying the 'magic'
of light- illumination and by using it as an utilizable
medium, gives to it an 'artistic' nature.
In those works light, which is literally
and symbolically the basis of the creation of every work
is isolated and projected in its geometric absoluteness.
