ELEFTHERIA TSELIOU GALLERY PRESENTS “I AIN’T DEAD” BY DAVID SAMPETHAI

“I Ain’t Dead, Just Trying To Hear The Sound Of The Earth Spinning”

Large canvases echoing eerie standstills from the outside and inside world. David’s works exude a bizarre, loud silence, suggesting fantasies and daydreams alongside with their secret rituals.

A birdlike figure glides through the sky at dusk over an empty courtyard.

A naked man awaits a lover while another lies in bed frozen in fear, confronted by a sleep paralysis demon. While a strong expressionist touch prevails, it is tempted with longing and tenderness, defeat and rejection, magic and enchantment.
