Description
Myth is a small scale narrative drawing by artist Kostas Gogas and was created between 2017 and 2019. The piece incorporates elements of narration, mythopeia, eastern philosophy and collage.
It represents a major shift in the creative direction of the artist because it employs new processes and is based on vision rather than on ‘blind’ automatic surrealist methods the artist used to rely on. The craftsmanship is what sets the work apart, because the artist chose to defend creative traditions rather than rely on contemporary norms of artist’s style and new media tools.
