In Flux

About the show

In his inaugural solo exhibition in London, Kostas Papakostas embraces the theme of change in both subject and process, presenting a bold new body of work that steps away from refined, controlled compositions into the raw, the unpredictable and the unexpected.

Movement is at the core of Papakostas’ practice. His process is instinctive yet deliberate, harnessing both chaos and control to produce works with energy, where forms shift before the viewer’s eyes, embodying the ever-evolving nature of the world we inhabit. These works reflect transformation not as a moment in time, but as an ongoing state of being.

Through his brushwork, he captures movement, distortion, and reconfiguration, revealing the tension between losing control and reclaiming it in a world where power dynamics are increasingly in flux.

“We are living in an era of relentless transformation. Political landscapes shift overnight, and in his latest body of work, Kostas captures the energy of this instability where nothing stays fixed, and change is the only certainty.” Ben Cotton, Gallery Director

This latest series represents an exciting evolution for Papakostas, aligning with his belief that true artistic expression must remain fluid. Adopting a grittier, more instinctive approach, In Flux reflects a world in constant motion, where adaptation is not just necessary but inevitable.

The exhibition invites viewers to find their flow, surrender to transition, and recognise movement as a vital force, reminding us that within transformation, there is always potential.
