Flashes 2, 1999
After studying sculpture, mosaic, and the theory and history of art at the Athens School of Fine Art (1969 - 1973), Evdokia Papageorgiou enrolled at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste (1984 - 1987) in Munich, where she followed a postgraduate course in glass painting and mosaic, techniques which she practises actively in her work.
The series 'Flashes 2' of 1999 served to extend the earlier and authentic work of the artist which started out in 1996. As a starting-point in her work, Papageorgiou uses the principles of constructivism, which lend a feeling of the futuristic to her abstract constructions. Even when she is rendering features from objective reality (flowers, animals, nature), these are shown by fundamental mathematical principles and the logic of architecture. The minimalist geometrical shapes, chiefly horizontal and vertical parallelograms, contribute to the basic structure of the constructions and give rise to a marked mood of expansion in her creation.
