Yianni Maggacis
Artist’s Statement
Toowoomba based conceptual artist Yianni Maggacis creates work that first appears familiar, yet on second glance seem strange and ‘not quite right.' For Maggacis, this tension of the strangely familiar encourages the viewer to ‘look awry’ and become an active participant in the meaning making process of his work.
