Industrial A.D. by Johannis Tsoumas

My main source of inspiration is the purity of industrial landscapes, machines, gears, chains, belts, pulleys, smokestacks and factories into one, however, dynamic and conflictual relationship with employees and bosses. In an imaginative way I tried to harmonizs the contrast that characterizes the concepts of the animate and the inanimate, the strong and the weak, the signifier and the signified. Experience in the big city, with its multiform cultural and social characteristics, constitute for me the material for both my depictions and visual angle: an urban landscape full of mystery, fantasy and enigmatic atmosphere, but with clear social and political implications.
