Athens-based Iddo Markus (b. 1979) examines the paradoxes that define our contemporary visual landscape. Markus navigates the tension between the iconic image and digital multiplicity, a relationship that mirrors the current endless reproduction within society. Contradictions embedded in visual culture are explored in his work through including family photographs and online anonymity, figuration in opposition to abstraction, and the negotiation between personal memory and collective imagery.
In paintings from the 'Gossip' series, discarded family photographs found on the street are transformed into a contemporary dialogue. The images are isolated and abstracted, questioning how personal histories transform into collective mythology.
