Costas Picadas
Expansion 2 Blue & Orange Giant Love of Life Bio Exploration Acrylic Print

About the Item

*Scientists at Mount Sinai are working to identify and block COVID-19 while many are still at risk from the disease. We (the artist and gallery) will be donating 30% of all income from this work to Mount Sinai to support their efforts saving lives… Picadas creates photographs and video installations of places, situations and architecture that not only reveal their inner essence but also hint at dark unknown recesses. By partially stripping away the surface features of an image, the artist unearths visions that give rise to both a secret countenance and a psychic inner landscape. The artist explains, “In my photographs I examine and reveal the ways in which one can freeze both space and time by re-contextualizing different parts of reality and recombining them in new ways. The result is that both objects, and even situations, can be transformed into a kind of sculpture, providing us access to new knowledge about the nature of our reality.” The current works on view include photographs from Costas Picadas’ Mitos is series as phptpgraphs from the series entitled Expansion 1 and 2. Mitosis continues the artist's ongoing exploration of the metaphysics of universal forms. His images examine the intricacies of DNA and the transfer of information via cell division. The surfaces seem to undulate, as elements expand and contract, become abstract and slightly representational, more solid or transparent concluding in artworks that metamorphose into multiple phantasmagorical forms. In the multi-layered Expansion 2 and 1 photos, the positive and negative space resulting from the dynamic blooms become metaphors for spirit and matter. Picadas’ photos wrap around and mold to the space, creating richly enigmatic environments. His dream-like vistas, with portions either fading into or out of diffused optical focus, offer the viewer a whole new and vastly expansive dimension of hidden significance. BIO Costas Picadas was born in Ioannina Greece. He studied art at the Ecole Des Beaux-Arts and art history at the Louvre School in Paris. Picadas’ work has been exhibited, among other places, at Queens Museum-Bulova NY, Budman Gallery NY, Denise Bibro Gallery NY, The Blender Gallery Athens Greece, Gallery Gransart Paris, Mykonos Biennale Greece, The Young Art Fair in Switzerland, Gallery J&J Donguy Paris, Some Young New Yorkers III at PS1 NY, Kappatos Gallery, Athens, Greece, Gallery de Buci Paris, Gallery Anatole Chartres, France, Gallery de Nest Paris, Salon de Montrouge, Paris, W.G. Amsterdam, Holland, and the Festival of Avignon, France. Articles, reviews and critical analysis of Picadas’ work appear in solo and group show catalogues in addition to newspapers and magazines in France, Greece and New York, such as Zing Magazine, Absolute Arts, New York Spaces Magazine and Flash Art. Since 1994 he has been living and working in New York City.
