"Art & Ethics, Reflection through Art", Brussels Exhibition, 8-29 September 2017, Covent Garden
About
the Exhibition
Ethics is not only a theoretical
concept. Aristotle considers that ethical virtues are necessary for the way we
live our lives. Are necessary for a well lived life. Ethical principles hold
societies together when discussed and deliberated. Sometimes these same
principles can tear societies apart due to misconceptions.
This exhibition is the effort of a young artist to contribute to the ethics deliberations and to imagine the ethics principles as part of the quest for the good life. The issues derived from human archetypes and they have a global range.

Georgios Fanaras (aka Sino
two) was born in Thessaloniki,
Greece in 1995. In early age, he expressed himself creatively and in 2008 he
stepped in to graffiti scene. Since then he has been involved in many
festivals, murals, commissioned artwork, as well as painting in the urban
environment. In 2013 he entered in the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts of
Florina, Western University of Macedonia (Greece), at which he is currently
studying. Georgios’ main concept is to find the balance between opposites, as
also the exploration of human/non-human consciousness through his research in
art and ancient studies.

ARTWORKS
"Higher Judgment" / 1,30 x 0,90 m
In Ancient Greece it was believed Themis is the
goddess of righteousness and judgment. How much is our weight on the scale?
“Eclipse Point" / 1, 10 x 0,70 m (x 2)
Technology
has a major role in the progress of the human race. The false use can lead to
injustice, while the right use could bring salvation in many parts of our
lives.
“The Glass Prison” / 1,00 x 0, 80 m
We build
our own comfortable zone, because we have nothing to hide…?
“The Cycle” / 1, 30 x 0, 70 m
With natural resources, we provide cure or food
to the people who suffer due to the destruction of the natural resources. What
is our legacy to the future generations?
“Double Edged Blade” / 1, 20 x 0, 80 m
“You know
where the heart is.” He shouted at her.
It doesn’t have to be a warzone for someone to deal with this dilemma.
“Ninety years after” /
1, 30 x 0, 50 m
… and it
happened again. People forced to leave their homes, their ancestral lands, due
to war. A similar situation took place in the Aegean ninety years ago.
“1+1=1
(a sacred moment) “ / 0, 50 x 0, 20 – 0, 30 x 0, 30 – 0, 30 x 0,
20 m
Life has a peculiar way to be shaped and
express itself, sometimes in harmony and symmetry, other times in chaos. At the
moment of conception the two equal units become one and then the one, becomes
two.
