Grigoris Koukis
« My ultimate wish is to create artworks-like surreal advertisements-that can provoke people to think and react, and at the same time can operate as visual historical documents. »
Grigoris Koukis is an established Greek painter with national exposure. Magazines, newspapers, cinema and television have long been his sources of inspiration, and he describes his work as ‘Pop Nouveau.’ Blending handmade creations with digital images in order to make social commentary on his era, he achieves an aesthetic that sits somewhere between a photograph, a painting and a comic book.
