Underground
"Underground", acrylic on canvas, 2021, Giannoulis Liberopulos
The underground is not a space after all. It is an existential state. The anonymous hero—anyone—incompatible with the imaginary type of the everyday man of the book, ruptures the social conditions that tightly bind him and descends deep into his invisible underground. Down there, alone and naked, he converses face to face with his idol, he fights and bleeds with his weaknesses, thoughts and passions. Life in the underground desperately seeks for ascension, to experience real freedom and life.
