Accidental New-Romanticism
Goulis’ work explores the notion of the painting as means of intuitively reforming his everyday-ness and recollecting nostalgic feeling. Often the material is originated from sci-fi films, computer games and scientific magazine by which he starts a collection of personal experience and a search for his metaphysical identity. In his paintings, the objects are isolated in a background-less space and accompanied with stylish graphic texts. The absence of the surrounding characterises the physicality of the objects and emphasizes oneself as Romantic ‘hero’. The texts seem to come from a monologue when taking a walk alone and indulging in complete solitude.
