Installation & Sculptural Artist Environmental & Social Activist

Konstantin Dimopoulos is an Egyptian-born conceptual and social artist whose art practice is grounded in his sociological and humanist philosophies. His powerful and often thought provoking art-making practices investigate globally relevant questions related to ecology and the human condition.

Dimopoulos’s multidisciplinary art practice incorporates sculpture, installation, performance, painting, printmaking and drawing in the creation of monumental imagery, social and environmental interventions and conceptual proposals that argue the potential of ‘art’ as a means of social engagement and change.

Drawing from his diverse cultural and political history, Dimopoulos fashions a visual language based on thematic and contextual constructions. These evolving pictorial narratives are descriptive of such varied issues, as domestic violence, environmental ecocide, homelessness, and genocide. The visual and conceptual vocabulary that emerges is focused on the points of intersection between, the concept and its spatial analysis. This intersection is often the inspiration and target of his thought-provoking projects and installations.
