With multiple references –from El Greco to Byzantine and modern art– the work of Manolis Polymeris constitutes an interesting sample of Expressionism. The intensity of the gesture, the highlighted contradictions and distortions, the elliptical space, the combination of a dark and warm tones, the graphics and textual citations contribute decisively to the bizarre atmosphere of the pictures on, many times, himself, family and private space, which come to talk about their fears and terrors of everyday life, refer to existential impasse and emotional trappings.
