Pantelis Chandris
Pantelis Chandris (b. 1963) creates sculptures of striking psychological presence, where fragility, metamorphosis, and symbolic charge are held in delicate balance. Working across diverse materials, he transforms matter into forms that feel at once intimate and mythic, sensual and unsettling.
Works from Chandris’s Sleepless Cattleya series are presented at VIMA Art Fair, a body of work central to his mature practice. Works from this cycle entered the collection of EMST – National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, and were presented at the Fridericianum in Kassel in the context of documenta 14.
His exhibition history also includes the landmark 1998 group exhibition P + P = Δ at the DESTE Foundation. Chandris is the recipient of the 2010 AICA Hellas Award for the Ens Solum exhibition and the 1992 First Prize of the Spyropoulos Foundation.
