Information

For this solo exhibition he has created a series entitled Urlaub in Deutschland (Vacation in Germany). Using photographic images from postcards, he realistically renders holiday scenes in bright acrylic colours on paper. Using references to art history, as well as productive disturbances in the form of targeted artistic interventions, Paris Giachoustidis’ Urlaub in Deutschland succeeds in unsettling viewers, forcing them to reflect on what they have seen. He thus creates highly topical, socially relevant works that sharpen our perception and potentially impact our everyday life, provoking a more critical attitude when dealing with images and pictures in general.
