Elixism by George Pappas

What is the purpose? Is there a meaning hidden behind our actions?

Finding the answers of these questions is the reason that led me to Art. That

we ought to perceive the visible world with abstract thinking, shed light

on our dark and impassable compartments of our mind and process our

thoughts revolutionary so truth will be revealed from the fake structure of

this world. However the Artist of abstract thinking foresees furthermore:

To make people understand that other, more universal rules, purely

spiritual, govern the structure of this world. To seek out the communal

rules that define our deepest and unapproachable parts of our life. How?

By removing the unnecessary from the parts to keep their substance

intact as for example abstractly the marble becomes a statue. The abstract

thinking, in other words the very same thing that is trying to detach the

visible object to avoid imitating it in order to consider all others things thatare not derived directly from its image, is just the sum of the opposites,

a synthesis of contradictory meanings at a higher level which Socrates

approached with the dialectical method. And all this are done in a way not

circular but forming a three-dimensional spiral (Ancient Greek - helix)

of gradual changes that lead to turning points until we reach a higher

meaning. So I call my purpose in Art "Elixism" and the only way to begin

is by knowing you know nothing, doubting with eager all that surround you,

but even more yourself.

After his first group exchibition in New York at Caelum Gallery, the artist isexchibiting at Salon des Artistes the following series of works:

The Name-portraits series is a diverse way of dealing with

the letters of the alphabet. By transforming them into Art forms, he has

done his self-portrait using the initial letter of his name (G) and his sur-

name (PAPPAS). The two (A)s reversed horizontally become eyes, The (S) is

turned into mouth and jaw, the double (P)s reversed vertically became the

ear and the line of the face, while the last (P) and his initial (G) became the

nose.

Universal Rules is a series of works that seek the communalrules that apply to humanity. Observation of societal models, and analysis

of philosophical concepts like existence, God, Good versus Bad and Hu-

man Nature are set on questioning to find answers that are essential to all

of us and can apply to the entire human race independently of civilization

and culture.

The work Existence coming from this series is making

a point to the infinite choices a human being has in his life free to be

anything he wants as well as to the negative or positive impact of his

reality (City, Society, Political Environment, Circumstances), using symbolssuch us a Magnifying mirror symbolizing a progressed version of our

existence by magnifying oneself when the spectator looks at the mirror,

the tube symbolizing the journey of our individual existence, the soil

symbolizing the environment of each one existence-what we realize as

reality (society, city we live) that gives as opportunities to fulfill our dreams

or takes them away from us, serving as the soil does to a tree, either fertile

or sterile. However existence has no boundaries, if we break the chains of

our reality and be able to move to a new environment fertile to our visions.

The number zero (0) defines the start, the point of non-existence. Then

the first male and female form were created and people were copulating

until each one of us was born by his or her parents proving that we are all

brothers and children of the same father so we can be anything we want

since we gather the DNA of all our previous ancestors to Adam and Eve.

The diptych Realist, Idealist or Rebel? of the Universal

Rules series is dealing with all the possible roles of an individual inside a

social environment and how their actions can transform society leading to

new rules taking as an example the antismoking law as a non provocativeway to declare how people interact with their social environment. Looking

back to history we may observe the same attitude towards for example the

fight of the right of freedom of speech e.t.c.

The first work Realist (not featured in this catalog) depicts

the passive role of an individual towards the rules imposed by society. The

second work Idealist or Rebel? deals with the rest two possible roles of

the individual towards the system and the regulatory framework of a social

environment. Using symbols such us a Mirror and human figure smok-

ing symbolizing the idealist dreaming an alternative environment wherehe can freely act in contrast of the laws established.. Although his or her

actions are semi-passive (not really rebelling), by expressing ideas against

the established environment is setting the ground for a rebellion to start.

The spectator can look at the mirror reflecting a new reality for him or her

using a virtual smoking machine. Putting together found objects with

the assemblage technique anAshtray, a cigar and matches are used for

the role of the rebel serving as his weapons. The spectator comes in a

position to use the real objects (To take the cigar, light it and smoke it

putting the ashes into the ashtray) in order to rebel. The found objectsare used due to their practical nature since rebellion is not of theoretical

nature like idealism, it needs actions.

The last work featured, Bakchai, comes from Dionysian

Mysteries a series of works aiming in discovering the altering nature

of Dionysus during the rituals of ancient Greece in which intoxicants and

other trance-inducing techniques were used, such as dance and music, to

remove inhibitions and societal constraints, liberating the individual and

bringing him to a primitive state.

George Pappas was born in Greece and currently works in Athens, Paris

and New York.
