Constanze Zikos
Constanze Zikos deconstructs the 'cheaper' elements of suburban Greek culture in Australia. His kitsch colouration simultaneously leads geometric abstraction in new directions - combining the timelessness of Classical Greek design with the disposable aesthetic of laminex. Sue Cramer notes: 'Zikos' art mingles the sacred with the secular, the symbolic with the decorative, the real with the fake, the culturally specific with the abstract and universal.'
Signature materials - laminex, velvet, glomesh, perspex - are used to make a wide variety of work from paintings, to soft sculptures and minimalist objects. Zikos' glitzy, streetwise sensibility delights in the 'neo', the fake, revived, popularised and imitated.
