Andreas Ragnar Kassapis | The Shallow Room

26.02.22 - 30.04.22

Andreas Ragnar Kassapis observes regarding his recent works: “My subjects are landscapes or at least ‘areas’ that keep within them the objects inseparable. I continuewith my investigation into the concept of Nuance and consequently into the concept of Mood (Stimmung); the concept of Duration (la durée) and consequent- ly subjective experience and lived time; the notion of distance and therefore the concept of perspective and its distortions “.

Having psychoanalysis, phenomenology and contemporary cultural criticism as basic methodological tools, the work of Andreas Ragnar Kassapis focuses on themes concerning the mechanisms of perception, memory and representation. Having as astarting point cognitive theories of object perception, his paintings raise questions about the imprint of technical images on perception and memory in modern times.
Among the exhibitions we remember his participation in Documenta 14 in Kassel and Athens curated by Adam Szymczyk, in Haeven for the 2009 Athens Biennale, and the group exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the Benaki Museum in Thessaloniki, the Anthony Reynolds gallery in london and the Deste Founda- tion in Athens, among others.
