(b 1956Greece. Lives and works in athens)
Lassithiotakis’ highly abstract compositions rely on indirect, elliptical and unconventional symbols, which require viewers’ attempted interpretation in order to be ‘completed’ from the artist’s point-of-view.
Contrary to the general perception of abstraction as a mode of expresion that sits at a permanent distance from classical representation, his intention is for the works to operate like a portrait, still life or vanitas.
