ALEXANDROS VASMOULAKIS


Greek painter, Nuart 2010 artist, muralist, and installation artist Alexandros Vasmoulakis’ collaborated with Athens-based graphic designer Paris Koutsikos to complete a ‘Perfect’ mural in Berlin, Germany. It is their biggest wall thus far.

We received these a couple of weeks ago from Alexandros Vasmoulakis but they were left hanging in the drafts folder. Interesting to read the thoughts behind his work as "pseudo-advertising", places the work he did for Nuart in a different light.

"Perfect. A piece of "pseudo-advertisement" that neglects beauty and offers a ''product'', which is broken and wild. It can be neither sold nor bought; it smiles, screaming its perfection out loud. The magnificent world of advertisements, smiling faces, beautiful bodies, heavenly vacations, give their place to two crumpled girls who, ultimately happy, praise imperfection".
