Vassilis S.Skopelitis


It was both a challange and a temptation on behalf of Taf to invite,
father and son to exhibit together.
Two generations reflecting on the same subject-. quite restrictive yet at the same time charming-, two different perceptions, two different results
Father and Son-,. both photographers that differ thematically in photography, reveal their differences and similarities from within their kinship and through a common subject-matter.
Vasilis Skopelitis, son of Stelios Skopelitis, Vasilis Skopelitis has chosen to show generic shots of an exquisite landscape with sensitivity, through a realistic geometric view-, well-matched in the cruelty and at the same time in the tenderness that, each landscape reveals.
On the contrary, the Stelios Skopelitis has chosen close shots, where the object acquires a other form, non-recognizable, but always poetic. The abstraction of the shot clearly reveals the maturity.
The two hold no rivalty amoungst them.
The natural differences belong to the dark perception of psychoanalysis that leads nowhere.
When a person’s mentality can identify with nature-, a subject that Christianity and profiteering politics avoid, differences do not exist. 



This is what Vasilis Skopelitis and Stelios Skopelitis strive to show.
