Notebook featuring detail of Stathis Logothetis’ artwork E110, 1969, presented at the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, as part of the exhibition Earth to Earth.
Stathis Logothetis stands as a unique artistic figure who developed his practice through a dynamic dialogue with the European avant-garde of his time. The power of his work lies in the intense—often violent—identification of the fundamental elements of painting—the canvas, colour, and stretcher—with the human body, skin, and blood. At the same time, he integrates natural wear and chance into his work, exposing it directly to the forces of nature.
