Yiannis Moralis made 'Erotic' using paint on canvas. Look closely, and you'll see a mastery of surface finish. Moralis applies thin layers of color, building up tones to create geometric shapes, rendered in a palette of black, white, and grey. While these could be seen as hard-edged forms associated with industrial production, the texture of the paint suggests something more subtle. It's clear that the artist took a hands-on approach, carefully working the surface with brushes. This contrasts with the clean lines of the composition, which feels modern and machine-like. The interplay between the industrial and the handmade is central to the work's appeal. Moralis reminds us that even in a world increasingly dominated by mechanical reproduction, there's still value in the direct intervention of the artist's hand. It challenges the notion that fine art and craft are separate categories, highlighting the importance of both skill and concept.
