CONSTANZE ZIKOS
was born in Greece in 1962 and grew up in Melbourne after migrating to
Australia at an early age. Experiencing the life of two cultures, Zikos
tries to make sense of his Greek heritage in the context of contemporary
Australia. Zikos works across a range of media - including paintings,
textiles, sculpture and works on paper. His work is a medium for questioning
the structure of personal and collective identity in society and for exploring
the traditions of his Greek heritage in Australian suburbia.
Constanze Zikos completed his formal art
training in Melbourne, graduating from Victoria College (Prahran) with
a Bachelor of Arts in 1984 and completing a Post-graduate Diploma of Art
and a Master of Arts (Fine Art) at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA).
He has exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally. He currently
lives and works in Melbourne, Victoria. He is represented by Tolarno Galleries
Melbourne.
Constanze's work in <abstractions>
was curated by Nikos Papastergiadis.
