Andreas Lolis

Lolis presents us here with marble delicately carved in the size of a traditional canvas, in an attempt to test the limitations of traditional sculpture while simultaneously challenging assumptions of what painting could be, expanding the concept of a painting beyond its frame or surface. Questioning the traditional understanding of sculpture as grounded, static, and dense, Lolis pierces here the marble creating a void which reveals unseen spatial regions and expands the experience of space. As if creating a fictional dialogue between Henry Moore and Lucio Fontanta’s famous Tagli (Cut) series, Lolis’ piercing on the marble extends its surface outward in space while also opening up the space beyond.
