YORGOS MARAZIOTIS

GR, °1984 - Lives and works in Antwerp

Dialogue and duality are two key aspects in the practice of Yorgos Maraziotis. The artist, born in Greece, but now settled in Antwerp, works with painting, sculpture and installation to research the spaces we inhabit, the (hi)stories we pass on and the aesthetics of our lives and environments. With dialogue as an artistic process and by opposing different perspectives within his work, searches to engage in a certain ambiguity.

With his work, he hopes to generate a surprising insight, a question or realization we didn’t know was accessible.
