DEMETRIUS MANOUSELIS

Paintings
Bio

 

[Manouselis's] forms, biomorphic in some passages, geometric in others, are specters and symbols: Egyptian hieroglyphs, Cycladic idols, or Greek letters, are just a few of the possible readings.

His work can be considered a part of the abstract surrealism that marks the return of this style in today's market but Manouselis has been refining his style in this direction for the past ten years. As such, it is informed by a multitude of concerns including architectural structures but also his vast theoretical and conceptual awareness.
