Some fragments of the project follow a path set by the texts of T.S. Eliot and, more particularly, his work “The Waste Land ". Topos 1.0... is a neo-Baroque work... formed by 100 independent studies bound by one recurrent theme and exposed in a fragmented scenography "My work is akin to a neo-Baroque composition because it’s made of independent works, each of which in their broadest sense allow me to have a foresight of the final piece" Giorgos Mavridis http://www.g-mavridis.org Some fragments of my work http://www.g-mavridis.org/conjunto_topos_eng.htm ----------------------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Giorgos Mavridis was born in Kavala (Greece) in 1969. in 1990, he left from Athens to go to Brussels. There, he enrolled in the Royal Academy of Modern Arts and took courses in illustration and painting (1990-96) which he linked with the training in serigraphy and courses on "experimental practices" (exploration and research of minimalism). Since 1996, his work has combined exploratory new techniques and expressive forms with the study of archetypes and poetry (Kavafis, T.S. Eliot). In 1999, he arrived to Barcelona and started on the Topos 1.0 project. In 2000, following the hiring of an industrial space (400m�) in Poblenou, he joined with other artists to create DACKS, a workshop for art and multi-media creation. All along he has also been engaged with the theatre, producing several stage designs for the H�llenique Theatre of Belgium (1992-99).
