Αυτό είναι ένας χαιρετισμός στην ερμηνεία, την ασάφεια και την ασυνέπεια, με την οποία σχετιζόμαστε στην αλήθεια.
This is a salutation to the interpretation, vagueness and inconsistency, with which we relate to the truth.

Iasonas Kampanis was born in 1985 in Athens (Greece), where he currently lives and works. He studied silversmithing and jewelry design at the Mokume Institute in Thessaloniki. Since 2007, he is working with painting and digital media.
His work is rooted in the origins of worship and Mediterranean animistic traditions, attuned to mystical kinship with non-human beings and to the re-enchantment with the spirits of place.
In 2020 he received the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship Award by ARTWORKS.
He has collaborated or exhibited with, among others, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Cycladic Art, Onassis Stegi, Thessaloniki International Film Festival, Victoria Square Project, kunsthallekleinbasel, GNYP Gallery, Kates-Ferri Projects, Wilhelmina’s Gallery, Breeder Gallery, Rebecca Camhi Gallery, Citronne Galleries, and London Print Studio, as well as curators Marina Fokidis, Aphrodite Gonou and Sam Steverlynck, choreographer Irina Österberg, filmmaker Maria Gaitanidi, actor Stacy Martin, and zoologist Desmond Morris.
He has also worked in traditional printmaking, Byzantine mural painting, theater productions, and educational programs.

Ο Ιάσονας Καμπάνης γεννήθηκε το 1985 στην Αθήνα, όπου ζει και εργάζεται μέχρι σήμερα. Σπούδασε αργυροχρυσοχοΐα και σχεδιασμό κοσμημάτων στο Ινστιτούτο Mokume στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Από το 2007 ασχολείται με τη ζωγραφική και τα ψηφιακά μέσα.
Το έργο του έχει τις ρίζες του στις απαρχές της λατρείας και στις μεσογειακές αναμιστικές παραδόσεις, ανοιχτό στη μυστική συγγένεια με τα μη ανθρώπινα όντα και στην επαναμάγευση με τα πνεύματα του τόπου.
Το 2020 έλαβε το Βραβείο Καλλιτεχνικής Υποτροφίας του Ιδρύματος Σταύρος Νιάρχος από την ARTWORKS.
Έχει συνεργαστεί ή εκθέσει με, μεταξύ άλλων, το Μητροπολιτικό Μουσείο Τέχνης, το Μουσείο Κυκλαδικής Τέχνης, τη Στέγη Ωνάση, το Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Κινηματογράφου Θεσσαλονίκης, το Victoria Square Project, το kunsthallekleinbasel, την GNYP Gallery, τα Kates-Ferri Projects, τη Wilhelmina’s Gallery, τη Breeder Gallery, τη Rebecca Camhi Gallery, τις Citronne Galleries και το London Print Studio, καθώς και με τους επιμελητές Μαρίνα Φωκίδη, Αφροδίτη Γκόνου και Sam Steverlynck, τη χορογράφο Irina Österberg, τη σκηνοθέτιδα Μαρία Γαϊτανίδη, την ηθοποιό Stacy Martin και τον ζωολόγο Desmond Morris.
Έχει επίσης ασχοληθεί με τη χαρακτική, την βυζαντινή τοιχογραφία, τις κινηματογραφικές και θεατρικές παραγωγές, και με εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα.
