Augustus Veinoglou

Statement

Veinoglou’s work is concerned with ideas of entrapment, sanctity and melancholy as the means of instigating desire, imagination and sensuality within poetically designed space.

Veinoglou’s immersive installation work stems from the re-appropriation of energy, material and architectural elements that describe the transitory state of situations and spaces. Veinoglou explores how these elements can be re-arranged or re enacted to newly impact our experience and perception in space.

Drawing offers him the means of exploring subjects relating to his larger work whilst exploring spatiality, mechanics and visual representation of narrative based potentials.
