About

Alexandros Abazoglu (born 1993 in Greece) is a multidisciplinary artist who primarily works with painting and screen printing, in order to investigate the poetics created through human thought, the interconnections between dissimilar things and the way they interact. The idea of interpreting the world through a false image and the failure to accept its true picture by the prisoners in Plato's Allegory of the Cave, is of great importance to his work. The unrecognizable objects often appear to be fragments of another object that have been detached, and are reminiscences of archaeological findings. In addition, the architectural elements of future-like structures and the metal armatures that appear, make the objects somehow resemble findings that have come from the future rather than the past.

He earned his B.F.A. and M.A. degrees from the School of Visual and Applied Arts, UOWM, Greece and in May 2020, he received his M.F.A. from the Mount Royal School of Art, MICA, U.S.A.. For his graduate studies he was awarded various scholarships, such as the Morris Louis Graduate Scholarship, the Mount Royal Scholarship, the NEON Foundation Scholarship and the Gerondelis Foundation Scholarship. He is a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Visual and Applied Arts, UOWM, Greece and will complete his research through a distance learning program, with supervising professors from Greece and the U.S.A..
