Vasilis Vasili
Vasilis Vasili or Vassilis Vassili, is a Greek contemporary sculptor born in 1964. His work may be characterized by concerns and concepts such as entrapment, restriction, escape, gateway, separation and partition. The adaptation of the shapes and the character of the materials are in the service of the project's concept. He attempts to assign meanings, to correlate emotions and styles, to renew the tradition of conceptual and to puzzle over the aesthetics of the ordinary, "unsuspecting" object. His sculptures are displayed in different cities in Europe, USA, Canada, China, India, Taiwan and Turkey.
From 1992 -1997, Vasilis Vasili studied at The School of Fine Arts in Athens under professors E. Panourias and T. Papagiannis. In 1999 he received a scholarship from The Greek Foundation of Scholarships and one from the Onassis Foundation. He then moved to the United States. In 2001, he received a Masters of Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He moved to Canada in 2013, where he currently lives with his family.
