Monoblog is proud to present the drawings of Lamprini Boviatsou.
( Pencil on paper, 16cm x 24cm )
Based in the town of Chania in Crete, artist Lamprini Boviatsou admits she has long
been obsessed with self-portraiture and extreme realism. These two elements are
typical of her work.
The main issue in her
research is reflection. Reflection is the confirmation of existence, the mirror
which presents the images of people and objects, together with what the artist
sees as the "ritualistic" concepts they contain. Each form assumes
elements of identity, depending on how it is mirrored, and these elements are
influenced by their social and political context.
The artist imposes
this distortion of the figures in her attempt to demonstrate the chaotic nature
of existence.
Lamprini Boviatsou
was born in Athens in 1975. She graduated in 1998 from Rome School of Fine
Arts. She has taken part in several group exhibitions in Greece and Italy and has
won many competition awards. She has had five solo exhibitions, her last one at
Thanassis Frissiras Gallery in Athens, Greece.
She is currently in the
exhibition "Face to Face - The Artists and the Collector'', at the
Frissiras Museum until 30th September, 2012:
