Yiannis Moissidis studies the behaviour of the white colour on the white surface and of the black colour on the black surface. He is intrigued by the idea of the imprint as delimitation of the colour’s substance when it is shaped into an abstract form. The compositions of Yiannis Moissidis, as pounding chromatic surfaces, do not elude the potential randomness or what is determined by the natural law of gravity, and, what is more, they absorb the Doric style at its plainest form.
