Konstantinos Irakleous
Irakleous’ practice is primarily influenced by everyday life and the streets. Through his work, he explores the beauty of the boring, the subtle, the ignored, the unpleasant, the anti-art, the ordinary, and the mundane in the streets, where he believes the everyday life thrives.
In his latest photographic project, emotion is becoming a dominant element as he seeks to trigger a reaction inside the viewer. Through editing, Irakleous changes the atmosphere and the tone of each photograph by altering the colours, resulting in new, emotionally charged images. There is a continual existential dialogue between the photographs; between blue and red, between emptiness and passion, which results in a subtle tension.
In this body of work, the everyday is being transformed into a conflict zone of emotions and contrasts.
