ARTIST STATEMENT

​

  In his most recent and mature artistic work, Kyriakos Paraskevopoulos uses sculpture and drawing as his main means of expression. Perceiving creation in general and subsequently his own creative work as a phenomenon, he creates installations which he defines as "sculptural environments", in which the most fundamental factor is the very process of composition and the overall act of deposition of the works in space.

  Initially he approaches elemental concepts such as weight, movement, rhythm in terms of design and explores the narrative possibilities of his media, while gradually inventing and discovering his vocabulary, with materials and form resulting through the process of experimentation.

  By aiming to include both mistake as well as empty space in his narratives, he comes up with compositions of interdependent parts, seemingly endless in the way he produces and recomposes them, with form taking both organic and strictly geometric forms.

  The final “sculptural environments " are governed by their own rules, but at the same time are defined by the site of their deposition itself. As such, the viewer can interpret them as drawings in space, singular sculptures, systems and/or fields, of multiple readings and narratives, where opposing concepts such as the ephemeral with the diachronic and the personal with the collective are redefined, in a state of constant fluidity.
