About the Item

Title: Space Elephants, Proverbial Egg Shells, Swallowtail Wings Medium: Archival Pigment Canson Platine Print Series: Isolation Games Available Sizes: 21" x 30” Edition Size: 10, Artist Proof 2 31" x 45” Edition Size: 8, Artist Proof 2 40" x 58” Edition Size: 5, Artist Proof 2 50" x 75" Edition Size: 4, Artist Proof 1 *The full title of this photograph is - Space Elephants, Proverbial Egg Shells, Swallowtail Wings, and the Pervasive Precariousness one Confronts in Today's Tumultuous Paradoxical Landscape Narrative: This photograph belongs to the series "Isolation Games." At the dawn of 2020, as universal freedoms were renegotiated and the world receded into quarantine, our lifestyles were consequently fraught with apprehension. The surreal stillness forced many inside, ultimately shifting routines and psychologies across the board. While passing the time at home during isolation, these photographs depict distraction and amusement in a newly-skewed world. It's ironic how collective isolation abruptly welcomed the material experience of puzzles. I could have done them any old time; alas, our hurried lives were placed in holding patterns. Dali's abstract perspectives of time's passage and visual metaphors aligned with my quarantined state-of-mind. Canceled travel shifted routines while Netflix-and-chill only went so far; instead, I opted for desert allegories, blue skies, and stilted elephants in the room. Christos is a 1st-gen Greek-American fine-artist whose photographs probe themes of socioeconomics, culture, history, and architecture. As strong symbolic sparks in a frenetic 21st-century, his creative intrigue is informed by identity, connection, nostalgia, and isolation. This photograph will be printed once payment has been received and will ship directly from the printer the artist works with. Your certificate of authenticity will be shipped separately from your print and in most cases will ship directly from the gallery.
