STYLINOS SCHICHO Another point of you

With the exhibition "Another point of YOU", the viewer is encouraged to question his point of view, to change his perspective or even to take a different look at himself. Stylianos Schicho is always concerned with observation, communication and interaction. These take place between the motif and the recipient but are also emblematic of society and its structures. Schicho skilfully depicts the permanent balancing act between proximity and distance, between intimacy and isolation on large-format canvases. The artist combines the formal and the substantive through the use of numerous metaphors, pointing to discrepancies between the individual and the collective. Dragonflies, for example, Schicho paints again and again as a supplement to the people. They have very good eyesight and have an exceptional flying apparatus that allows them to stand in the air. Another element in Schicho's works are circular formations that meet, join or burst. These bubbles suggest a genital area, a retreat that remains an illusion. The pictorial constructions of the artist are painted social critique, which thematizes sociological processes and their effects.
