Burning Bird
View through Europeana Collections
In Philip Tsiaras' painting certain motifs often recur, such as: the horse, the plane, the gun, creating autonomous units. In the series "Topologies", where "the plane" is the protagonist, the work "Burning Bird" stands out. An expressionistic explosion of colour volumes that comes in direct correspondence with the morphoplastic pursuits of gestural painting (action painting ) and abstract expressionism, although the subject matter is recognisable. The space is indeterminate, alluding to an imaginary astral landscape, possibly in the world of space, captivates the viewer and can be interpreted as the artist's response to the stormy reality he is experiencing.
