Andreas Papanastasiu

London-based Greek painter Andreas Papanastasiu borrows techniques from conceptual and installation art. His arrangements of small colorful canvases suggest a minimalist theater, a three dimensional pointillism where each rectangular painting stands for a person, object or surface whose bold color communicates vivid emotions. Papanastasiu gives his miniature canvases a powerful sensuality, his paint application creating textured and swooping forms that flow across each installation. Consequently, his pieces achieve an undeniable presence independent of the component parts' passionate intensity
