Existing as layered wall - hung canvases, oversized propped cushions or delicately amended pieces of clothing, Papadopoulos's objects
suggest riotous
narratives where fact and fiction are uncertain, and where protagonists remain
mysterious and motives unclear.
The absence of a human figure tasks the objects in the paintings with
suggesting a
narrative arc, imbuing them with a sense of
mysterious drama — a door that is slightly ajar, a glass of water left on a bathroom sink, a broom leaning against a wall are the only evidence of the presence of a person, perhaps having moments before walked through the picture frame, or lingering just out of sight.
