Dimitris Yeros
"Dear Dimitris,
I like both the concept and the realization of your photos.
Perhaps men are learning something about innocence from the nudity of the animals.
Warmly"
"I am very pleasantly surprised by Dimitris Yeros - I only knew him as a photographer
and didn’t realize that he painted so extensively. These paintings remind me of ancient works, using the most elemental contrasts of black and white to tell the most mysterious stories on canvas.
Such works have always possessed a strong and enduring vitality."
" ...Dimitris Yeros has long been famous for his images of beautiful Greek men, often presented with a surrealistic twist, but here shown in their most overtly classical guise. Photography, and most especially photographs of the male nude, has always modeled itself on templates found in more traditional art forms. Yeros is the direct heir in this respect of the 19th century photographers Guglielmo Marconi and Wilhelm von Cloeden, and also of 20th century photographers of the male nude such as George Platt Lynes and Bruce of Los Angeles."
"Dimitris Yeros stands as a unique figure in contemporary art. Painter, photographer, poet and performance artist, Yeros bridges these worlds with exceptional originality. He is, however, best known as a painter and photographer, creating lyrical and surreal paintings and provocative and richly textured photographs. Although he approaches these two media from different vantage points, one can detect a painterly eye in his photographs and a photographer's sensibility in his paintings. The results are beautifully crafted and arresting images that beckon the viewer to pause and contemplate the human condition."
"Dimitris Yeros is also a poet of Mediterranean bodies : Egyptians and Greeks of an enigmatic beauty, proud of their age old nudity."
