Dimitris Polychroniadis sculptures are grand misoscenes, full of drama, that attest to his theatrical training in set design. They are monumental even in their small scale.And highly emotional and impactful.
He says, "Religion often serves as an emotional 'lender of last resort' in times of crisis. The idea for this series of maquette sculptures, comes from Christian church signs and billboards in the US. By stripping these religious quotes away from their physical and emotive context, the 'message' becomes more absolute, almost surreal. To emphasize this further, the text size has been exagerated in scale (compared to the figurines) and colour. The project is somewhat 'street' influenced by large scale advertising and slogan graffiti. The title of the series generates a contrast: The notion of God-sent miracles as an integral part of religious faith, against the marvels of man-made, modern age, industrial technology and it's products such as fluoerscent materials and colours. Materials used: cardboard, foamboard, blue foam insulation material, sand, wood, maquette fugirines and trees, MDF, acrylic and spray paint, found minature of the Parthenon (plaster-made)."

Holly, eu sou um pouco obcecado com suas impressões! Eu fui louca por vestidos de boneca, gaga de penelope (eu tinha quase a coleção inteira), estou prestes a obter posição de Annie fazenda e estou morrendo de vontade de colocar minhas mãos em algum gatinho pam. Lotes e lotes de amor e adoração por todo o caminho de uma mulher louca tecido
