Michalis Papamichael
Papamichael’s work connects through a fabric of political allusions and whispers of a social language. With a background in both Psychology and Fine Arts from Los Angeles and Munich, respectively, in the last years, Michalis Papamichael has had solo exhibitions as well as participated in group shows in Cyprus,Greece and Germany. The experience of having lived and worked in both the US and Germany makes up part of the unique approach he adopts in his artistic techniques and concepts. Papamichael has worked with the positioning of his own body, with sculptural objects, and, more characteristically, with complex technical processes of sculptures molded from papier mâché. His unique sense of sculpting malleable material, like paper, into a moist slab of plaster, large enough to resemble a forceful wall made from intense labour, shows how the artist’s work is steered by a sensibility to raise awareness through ideas which share a social consciousness.
