1924 Pyrgos, Ileia -
Greece. He started off studying medicine (1943-1944) but
he gave it up and turned to the School of Fine Arts
where he studied painting in the studio of Konstantinos
Parthenis (1944-1947). In 1954 he went on a scholarship
to Paris where by 1957 he had completed his studies in
painting and learned the art of the mosaic. Since then
he has lived and worked in the French capital.
In 1964 he presented his first solo show at the Galerie
J in Paris which was followed by solo shows in various
towns of France, Greece and other countries while in
1998 there was a retrospective at the National Gallery.
He also took part in group and international exhibitions
such as "Three Proposals for a New Greek Sculpture" in
1964 at the Teatro le Fenice, in Venice, in the
framework of the Biennale, the Sao Paolo Biennale of
1965 and the Europalia of 1982. Also interested in art
on a theoretical level he has published articles in
magazines as well as the books ''H ζωγραφική πράξη και
σκέψη'' (Painting Act and Thought) (Athens, 1973), "Kιαροσκούρο"
("Chiaroscuro"), 1982 and "Eπιλογή από το ημερολόγιο
1973 - 1985" ("Selection from My Diary 1973 - 1985")
(Athens 1987).
Acquainted with abstract art at first hand, he adopted
its doctrines right from his early years of residence in
Paris, creating his first series of boxes using cheap,
common materials which he painted in ordinary colours,
and punctured, tore and crumpled. Later he created
compositions influenced by hard edge, optical and
kinetic art, and then returned to flat surfaces. In
these works hardboard, which is the basic material, is
cut or detached to let the white light of the wall shine
freely through. Then burlap replaced the hardboard and,
consisting of bands or pieces of unhemmed material, sewn
with prominent stitches, or frayed and coloured, it
hangs freely on the wall letting the light flow through.
