Black Hole, 2024

Ellie Sass (Sassayiannis)  

Mixed Media Artwork :  Photography composition (2 photographs in one artwork) printed on Photoluster paper and mounted on Dibond 3mm. Part of the photography project 'BURNING FOR WATER' (2022) by Ellie Sass / Artistic Swimmer: Mandy Lambropoulou. Photography composition painted with acrylics.  Abstract Artwork Black and White. // Two Artworks BLACK HOLE & SPLASH: "The two works belong to a larger visual art project 'Burning For Water' which started in 2021 and highlights the vital and urgent need of humanity in today's era for water - mainly due to global warming. By creating the two visual artworks 'Black Hole' and 'Splash', I wanted to 'narrate' through the idea of ​​the VISIBLE and the INVISIBLE, how important it is to appreciate everything, without taking anything for granted. The dark female figure of the artistic swimmer appears in one photograph and in the second she disappears into the water - in two different ways in the two works respectively -, passing from the darkness of the first work to the light of the second work. The messy brushstrokes with a spatula convey a sense of extremity, of an absurdity and a struggle in a harsh black and white everyday life that demands that we take ideologically and socially absolute positions. However, the Light is always apparent as an evolution in the spiritual path of soul and body - of this world or the next" - Ellie Sass // Special thanks to Mandy Lambropoulou.
