The art gallery ekfrasi – yianna grammatopoulou presents a group of new works by Giorgos Divaris under the title Arrogance, view from above.

Giorgos Divaris’ compositions form a distinct installation-proposal. They are mainly wall works and photographic prints on metal surfaces, in which various objets trouvés are often integrated: worn objects or amorphous masses of burned, destroyed and eventually undetermined objects, pieces of useless software and computer components...

“The central thematic core of his work in recent years is mainly the world of mass media, especially television news – the virtual and fabricated representations of reality that are promoted and reproduced by these media, while the viewers, staying at a distance and protected within the safety of their home environment, are becoming uninvolved, apathetic, and addicted observers-"consumers" of a specific, distorted version of the world. A version that, through unconnected images and descriptions, consciously projects the immaterial and conceals the essential.”, notices the art historian and the curator of the exhibition, Yiannis Bolis.
