Gerasimos Floratos - Maps, Hymn, Psychogeography
Almine Rech Editions is pleased to announce the launch of ‘Maps, Hymn, Psychogeography‘, a catalogue that goes through Gerasimos Floratos’ latest exhibitions at Almine Rech in 2021 and 2022.
“Even though Gerasimos Floratos’ paintings are figurative, they are more like landscapes. Floratos is a New Yorker. His work is entropic, a sort of psychogeographical translation of the city. The vivid colors of his figures, confronting us, evoke the extreme experiences that define New York City. Floratos does not depict crowds per se—only one or two characters at most appear in each painting—but their presence is there in his passersby. Some look down, others look sideways, some look up; they could be among the hundreds of people we cross every day in busy neighborhoods.” — Anne Dressen
This catalogue includes Maps, a press release by Anne Dressen, Hymn, a press release by Anne Dressen and Psychogeography, and a press release by Nicolas Trembley. Now available at the shop and online.
