Constantinos Papamichalopoulos

Working in Athens, Greece, I am an interdisciplinary artist specialised in drawing, painting, 2D + printmaking, video, comics, photography, animation. I have exhibited nationally and internationally and I have published various works. I have long experience in illustration and cover art.
My work investigates the relationship between occidental and oriental art, the distinction between ‘high’ and ‘low’ as well as the appropriation of non-art by art. Recurrent themes include: Japanese motifs, the concept of the boundary, pop culture references and the impact of media on artistic practice and sensory perception.
I am currently teaching painting and printmaking in undergraduate and postgraduate level at the School of Fine Arts of the University of Ioánnina in Greece since 2021.
