Big Art

petros-chrisostomou-4

Petros Chrisostomou giant photography manipulation is amusing – he likes to play with scales. Chrisostomou takes objects with which we are all too familiar with – a high-heeled shoe or two, some eggs, a head of blonde hair – and he plays with scale to such an extent that they look monstrously large in their contexts. The perfectly ordinary object becomes wholly extraordinary, ” i’m in the connection between the real and the unreal, the physical and the non -physical”, said the artist. He has also won the Royal Academy/Land Securities award for 2009, which will give him free studio space at 48 Oxford Street in London for a year, and an exhibition in June.
