George Othonas joins @mfa_asfa
George Othonas is a visual artist based in Athens, Greece. He studied at the School of fine arts, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, from 2018 to 2023 in the Direction of New Media in the Visual Arts and is currently enrolled in the M.F.A. program at the Athens School of Fine Arts. He has participated in multiple group shows in Greece and abroad. His artistic practice utilizes mixed media as a multi-faceted artistic medium, aiming to explore the interaction that the image brings between the artist creator and the viewer. His work focuses on the association of the image with public space, but also with the dimensions of time and memory, through the experience of living in an abandoned urban environment. His themes emerge from lived experiences and emphasize the approach of broader social groups, analyzing their forms of interaction and the ways in which they perceive state rules and mechanisms in their entirety, conservative or otherwise.
