BIOGRAPHY
Argiris Bothos known in social media as “Boareye” is a fine art street photographer. Photographing since 2004, Boareye is inspired, influenced, moulded through graffiti, graphic design and calligraphy.
Unconventional to traditional practices, uniquely unorthodox, and highly eclectic to his form of art, Argyris is shifting our notice to a deeper level of consciousness and emotional empathy. His eccentric and passionate eye captures the spontaneous segments of vitality through his oblique lenses and reforms the tiny glimpses of still-life moments to energy, social motivation and romantic, melodramatic motion. His craft comes across, once silent and serene, and once exuberant and plethoric. A world of stalkers, individuals, shadows, coupled with a variety of unique colorations that successfully enhance the beauty of loneliness, social despair and introverted distance in the modern-day society. Notions of peace and tranquility sprawl in front of our minds, however, far beyond our reach of expectations. My intuition argues that Argyris attempts to feel absent from the material, pragmatic world he lives in. Conversely, he indulges himself to a poignant parallel of alternative street life art as he endorses his subjects with a certain attractive humanism, pure kindness and mother-like love and security, well versed to our senses. His photographs penetrate our unsuspicious minds with beauty and emotion and conjure pure life moments at their best. Strange reality, emptiness, vanity, meaningless interests, loneliness, happiness or drama, come severely affected artistically by a silent elegy. In sum, his work can be addressed as timeless, yet seriously agonizing through the passing of time itself. Realistic, yet profoundly romantic and poetic.
