Zoumboulakis Galleries present the new solo exhibition by Philippos Theodorides titled “Playground Bay”.
Philippos Theodorides presents his latest unity of works in which colour and shape prevail once more on the canvas surface. As the artist mentions himself: “I create a playground, a platform ideal for game and experimentation without restraints. Large scale shapes, gigantic shadows burst into the canvas’ surfaces and remain unedited or at times, mingled”.
Abstract works, related to design aesthetics and minimalism, with apparent decorative elements and music influences, record as a totality the artist’s expressive language.Brief CV:
