"What Is Contemporary Art?" Painting

Born in Thessaloniki, Greece, Panos is a self-taught emerging artist. He has made photography and paintings courses in private art studios in London. Originally being an engineer, he transformed himself into a conceptual artist after gathering artistic experiences in London, Barcelona and Paris where he has lived. He is exhibiting in London since 2012. Being attracted by the underground, Panos spent some time of his life studying writers like Henry Miller, Jack London, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, among others, charmed by the decadence of their writings. He uses all mediums available in order to be able to give each concept of his a satisfactory form. His works includes oil, spray, collage, photography and installations. Artist Statement Opposed to any kind of stereotype and, influenced by Stirner's individualistic theory, my art is mainly dealing with society, as built today, and people, trying to move the spectator beyond the conventional way of approaching the reality and its consequences. It challenges a number of social forms, creating either provoking or philosophical and more imaginative pieces. As part of the conceptual approach of my work, each piece is different from the other, both in execution and concept.
