Kostas Papakostas
Influenced by nature, the human condition, love, time and impermanence, Kostas Papakostas is a London-based multidisciplinary artist. His process is both physical and visceral–placing his canvases on the floor, he moves around them continuously, intuitively layering brushstrokes and allowing his consciousness to guide him whilst painting. With monochromatic flow inherent to his work, he draws similarities to Chinese abstract calligraphy and Zen asemic writing.
