Lefteris LEFT

Taking as a point of departure the images found on rocks and stones, LEFT plays with our ideas of time, equating the artist's craft with the natural processes of erosion. Nature is a sculptor, according to LEFT, and sculptures can be found everywhere on earth. On these stones, the portrait of an ancient Greek philosopher, a native of Africa, even the form of an extraterrestrial being may appear. Thematically, the work raises the following question: where exactly does the meaning of a work of art belong, in the work itself or with the viewer?

One of LEFT's most provocative statements concerns the length of time a work of art takes to be created -the millions of years of natural erosion, or the instant of the photograph, which uses point of view and light to highlight the surface and shape in a unique way. Whatever the answer, LEFT's probing into the collaboration between nature and man brings forth beautiful photographic images.
LEFT currently resides in Athens, Greece.
