Overview

Vassilis Theos (b.1965)  is a multi media artist presenting conceptual art combined with different techniques and materials. He is also elaborating his artistic practice as a curator, art director, set and costume designer for theatre, film and television.

As a multimedia artist, he practices the exploration of conceptual art through an intricate interplay of diverse techniques and materials. His work is fundamentally anchored in the idea of "deduction," where light and shadow serve as both metaphor and medium, creating an immersive dialogue between presence and absence.

The theme of deprivation—of parts, narratives, and forms—underscores his artistic inquiry. Each piece invites the viewer to engage with the tension between what is seen and what is hidden, evoking a sense of curiosity and introspection. Through his work, he strives to illuminate the complexities of perception, urging viewers to reconsider their understanding of space and form.

Theos’ previous research has deeply informed his current explorations, particularly the recurring motifs of stars, arrows, figures, and routes. These elements serve as symbols and catalysts, representing the vastness of human experience, the directional nature of journeys, and the ephemeral beauty of existence. Stars evoke wonder and aspiration, arrows signify direction and intent, while figures and routes encapsulate the stories of those who traverse through life.

By employing a range of materials—from traditional paint to found objects and digital media—he aims to create layers of meaning that resonate with the viewer on multiple levels. Each technique he utilizes contributes to the narrative of his work, revealing the interconnectedness of experiences and the universality of human emotion.

In essence, his art reflects the world’s complexities, urging us to confront the shadows of our perceptions and the light of our understanding. It is an invitation to engage with the nuances of existence, to ponder what is present and what is lost, and to celebrate the beauty that arises from the interplay of light and shadow.
