Caretakers – New Paintings by Vasilis Avramidis

Vasilis Avramidis’s paintings of decaying gardens that spill over still lifes uniquely depict the notion of time passing. These symbolic motifs mix the classic tradition of still life paintings with that of sweeping landscape vistas. The result are lush and misty hues of green moss, ivy, and trees that contrast beautifully with the more formal architectural structures that seem to have been overgrown. Look closely and you will spot a few caretakers. See more after the jump!
