Stathis Alexopoulos
Stathis Alexopoulos was born in 1976 in Athens, Greece, where he currently lives and works. His creations can be found in major museum art shops, galleries and private collections. These include the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, Benaki Museum, Theocharakis Foundation and SNFCC. Big Municipalities in Greece, as well as abroad, are elaborately adorned with his large-scale sculptures. Furthermore, he has co-operated creatively with big companies in their advertising campaigns.
He studied Sculpture at the School of FineArts of Tinos, as well as at the Fine Art School of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where he graduated with distinction. He has participated in many groups and solo exhibitions and won numerous awards in Greek or international sculpture gatherings. His work links the past with the present, bringing together the concepts of time with his artistic expression. His sculptures are very characteristic with distinct hubs, which are formed by blending belts and stripes, encircled and embraced eternally. This is his attempt to redefine the concept of traditional forms and hold them captive through the passage of time in the modern era. Alexopoulos is known for using Yves Klein Blue, a colour that he finds stimulating and inspiring.
