Andreas Theologitis greece
title
Abandoned Souls
Apparently, in a first thought, the human body enters in soiled spaces, full of graffiti, dangerous. But these photographs don’t reveal a contrast. Space and body are treated as one representing the same feeling of abandonment.
He studied in Belgium in the 80's. The first years of his career he spent in Brussels and had the opportunity to take part in projects that marked the urban texture of the city. In the early 90's he returned to Greece where he participated in important architectural and urban projects. He is the coordinator for large commercial and tourist developments, urban regeneration and planning studies in Greece and abroad.
His involvement in photography dates from the age of the darkroom.
His work is marked by intense geometric forms resulting from his background in architecture and which define his style in photography. His extensive travels are reflected in his unique view of the world.
His photographs express in a powerful way the detail of color, texture, material, leaving the imagination of individual viewers free to create their own particular image. It is a personal need of expression and research beyond rules.
In the latest years Andreas Theologitis try to go beyond a mere study of the human body. He turn insistently around the exploration of particular aspects of the nude, where aesthetics are combined with an almost ideological dimension.
He has made exhibitions of his photography work in various locations and galleries of Athens, Piraeus, Brussels, London, Washington DC, L.A., New York City. He has been awarded in several photography competitions.
