Painting with LED lights - Stergios Stamos

I’m breathing again, don’t worry, I keep going, I’m winding, I forget, remember, love…
Experience serves, confessions made by people living in Greece in 2011 is a motive for paintings by Stergios Stamos which are presented at the OPUS art gallery from March 26th to April 11th .

An explosion of feelings by Stamos, resulting from our peculiar times when the economic uncertainty and its effects have ifluenced almost all of us.

Matter plays an important part in the paintings. It is formed with paper, cloth, plaster, glue and creates nests where blue or white light (neon light) is enclosed. It covers various drawing ventures that are half seen and sometimes complete the shape.
