Nikos Kanarelis
Broken Fist

2016

About the Item

Broken Fist, 2016 Charcoal on paper 30 x 40 cm Signed and dated Kanarelis presents a journey towards the truth, a truth bound to a genuine subjective point of view of the familiar and the object. Executed in pencil, and with great emphasis placed on detailed representation, the still lives on show seem real and tangible, while at the same time they are deeply personal and idiosyncratic. Juxtaposed to one another they resemble cropped film noir stills. Their dramatic quality is partly achieved through the use of chiaroscuro, reliant on light sources that the artist himself has set up in his living space. As a result, and in development of his previous work, both through the technique employed as well as through his subject matter Kanarelis makes an indirect reference to the history and theory of art. At the same time, his drawings reveal an attempt to imbue recent musings and experiences with symbolic meaning: things and objects embody significance, narratives within narratives, and emotion. Nikos Kanarelis was born in Athens, Greece in 1975 where he now lives and works. Βetween 1999 and 2004 he studied at the painting department of the Athens School of Fine Arts. In 2010 he graduated from the Masters programme of the Athens School of Fine Arts. He has had three solo shows at Loraini Alimantiri Gazonrouge gallery Déjà vu, 2005 / The Public gets what the public wants, 2009/ elika gallery, quite life, 2014, and has participated in numerous group exhibitions both in Greece and abroad.
