Costas Tsoclis, Painting: Limits and Transgressions, Part 2

Costas Tsoclis, Painting: Limits and Transgressions, Part 2

at the Theocharakis Foundation, Athens.

Since 1985, Tsoclis has been using video images to include the element of time in his work. The painting image becomes alive with video projections on canvas, giving the sense of paintings in motion.

A few years ago we saw an exhibition titled 'The Moving Image' where his paintings superimposed with video projections were on display. It was a memorable experience. A few of these were part of this, current exhibition.

Artemis - Kali, 1997, (colour video projection on two paintings with acrylics)

As we looked at the painting, Artemis' resting arm moved very slowly and her eyelids opened and closed

Unfortunately, I did not record the title of this painting. What moved here were the arms of the people featured

Resurrections, 2003, (video projection on canvas)
