Σκρέλη Ανδρέα
Photography was an expedient means of observing and recording in the hands of those who shifted geographically. Andrea Shkreli had a twofold experience of the excitement and embarrassment of emigration: as a child from Albania, his first homeland, to Greece, and as an adoult from his second home to Flanders.
Since settling in Belgium, Andreas continued, and did not stop taking pictures with his camera , and in part constitute a way of becoming familiar with his natural and social reality.
Shkreli's photographs are part of the long tradition of 20th century street and documentary photography that beset the mitropolitan glow via the pictorial aspect of an increasingly complex world moving faster and faster.
In such a spirit Shkreli unfolds his small discoveries, coincidences and notional graps, the points where the social seams stretch or are ripped, at the same time exploring the pace and liveliness that color often provides.
His compositions thoughtful, powerful but not cute.
