Description
Cut from books or magazines from the beginning of the century, they slip over the surface of the work to breathe an anachronistic dimension into the paper, both “real” while being anchored in an atmosphere of a nostalgic bygone era. For Christos Kalfas, these “heads” thus represent our “collective memory” with which he plays to create skits from which everyone will compose their own story.

Using exclusively black and white images to maintain a certain neutrality, he explores hundreds of collected images in search of the one that will have the right expression, the right size or the right position to compose his work. Once positioned on the paper, these heads then find a second life by incarnating themselves in so many colorful figures which awaken during astonishing sketches.

Christos Kalfas, Sans titre (Chien)
Greece  • 1955

Presentation

Born in 1955 in Eleftheroupolis (the Northern part of Greece), Christos Kalfas has been interested in print art since his adolescence. In the late '70s he moved to France and was accepted at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Saint-Etienne in 1978.

He likes to emphasize his origins in interviews, saying that “I arrived in France with a new perspective, a different culture and I was on another level than the art as it presented itself in France, which was… a little bit post-support-surface, a little bit conceptual, but in a French version: I think we all started to make figurative art because we were trying to create something new."

Starting in 1981, he started to take part in various exhibitions and salons, mostly in Lyon, Saint-Etienne and Paris before starting to have shows in Europe and Greece in the '90s and more regularly after 2000.

Today, he lives and works in Paris.
