DescriptionIn
the composition "Untitled" from his Maps series, Antonis Donef
deploys vintage maps which he cuts, re-glues and inscribes while on the canvas,
displacing geographical and ideological borders. He thus indicates new possible
ways of perception and communication, in the era of globalisation and emerging
fundamentalism. His palimpsest-like works, created in an abstract minimalist
language, are produced through processes that require time and knowledge, the
appropriation of archival material and its reuse in a new creation.
