Vasilis Vasili

Vasilis Vasili or Vassilis Vassili, in Greek Βασίλης Βασίλη (born 16 March 1964) is a Greek contemporary sculptor.

His work may be characterized by concerns and concepts such as entrapment, restriction, escape, gataway, separation and partition. The adaptation of the shapes and the character of the materials are in the servise of the project's concept. He attempts to assign meanings, to correlate emotions and styles, to renew the tradition of conceptual and to puzzle over the aesthetics of the ordinary, "unsuspecting" object. His sculptures are displayed in different cities of Greece and Europe. In Greek Cyprus he was assigned with several other sculptors to create public artwork for the Cypriot community, most notably his stone display in Limassol.
