CRITIQUE

“Vassilis Perros frames his painting’s virtuousity with the typology of repeated writings that swell from his washed-up suitcases”

“The art of Perros poses questions of migration, uprooting, displacement and fear of the foreign and the unknown, examining social issues that are abundant in today’s Greece. ”

“Without being limited to the dimensions of a canvas, the artist proceeds to three-dimensional representations of his subjects, utilising various materials in assemblies full of imagination.”

“Perros proves himself to be one of the most eloquent and inventive painters of the current generation.”

“He connects silhouettes and symbols of the ancient Greek mythology as well as the world of art history, with its timeless prevalence.”

“Vassilis Perros composes a deep observation of social anthropology, microhistory and ontological agony.”

“The special visual qualities of this kind of painting create a characteristic atmosphere that surrounds the theme of the works and eliminates conceptual aridity.”
