Yorgos Agrotes (b. 1997, Famagusta, Cyprus) is a visual artist based in Athens, Greece. He holds an MFA in Visual Arts from the Athens School of Fine Arts and a BA in Painting from the Faculty of Visual and Applied Arts at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Agrotes navigates a multi-layered emotional and cultural terrain shaped by experiences of migration and psychological distance. In his work, topography shifts from a literal site to an imagined space, a “topographical reset” where memory is treated not as a linear narrative but as a place: stratified, fractured, and quietly tense. These mental mappings operate as zones of compression, where personal and collective histories coexist in unstable balance. His practice critically examines the illusions that shape perception, particularly those related to societal constructs, power dynamics, and imagined futures. Through painting, sculpture, and installation, Agrotes deconstructs reality to expose the contradictions embedded in human existence. His work engages with dominant narratives that perpetuate fear, maintain inequalities, and obstruct progress, seeking instead to reveal the underlying forces that shape contemporary life. Rejecting any fixed form of artistic practice, Agrotes continually shifts methodologies and materials, drifting between mediums and meanings. Each project emerges through research-driven processes and material experimentation, searching for new narratives through changing variations of expression. Rather than offering closed interpretations, his work emphasizes open-ended narratives that evolve through materiality, allowing meaning to remain fluid, unstable, and perpetually in formation. Agrotes has presented exhibitions including Massage Platz at SHOWER, Seoul, South Korea, Stairway to Nothing at The Eye Altering, Thessaloniki, Greece. He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, such as “The hidden image” at Zoumboulakis Gallery, Athens, Radical Residency VIII at Unit 1 Gallery, London, and the Inspire Project at MOMus, Thessaloniki, Greece. His works are included in Private collections and at the Ministry of Cultural Services, Nicosia, Cyprus, and the Municipal Art Gallery of Larissa.
