About the Item

This 54" x 60" painting by Canadian artist, Demetrios Papakostas presents a minimalist composition of subtle geometric forms rendered in muted, earthy, beige tones. The canvas is divided into distinct rectangular sections, with the dominant portion occupying the upper area in a warm, peachy-beige color with a soft quality. Below this, the composition is split into two vertical rectangles: the left section displays a deeper, more saturated pinkish-brown or mauve tone, while the right section features a cooler, lighter grayish-white or pale lavender hue. The transitions between these color blocks are clean and precise, creating sharp linear boundaries that emphasize the geometric structure. The painting is executed with a smooth, even application of paint, giving each color field a uniform quality. The overall palette is remarkably restrained, working within a narrow range of warm and cool neutrals. Demetrios Papakostas is a Canadian painter who makes abstract paintings characterized by his passion for bold technical investigation, colour spatial and perception. His thoughtful inquiry into the subtleties of the relationship between abstract thinking and the human condition, are characteristic of his deeply held conviction that art must speak from, and to, heart, mind and soul. Born in 1960 in Montreal, Canada, he first became interested in the arts after visiting an artist’s studio while on a family trip to Greece. The artist Tassos Loukithis, was a family friend and it was there after seeing multiple paintings and struck by the beauty of many religious icons hung up all over the artist’s studio that he decided he wanted to draw and paint. He studied portrait drawing, watercolour and abstraction at the Visual Arts Center in Montreal with Nicole Lebel, Heather Yamada, and with prominent Canadian painter Harold Klunder, and also taking various art classes at the Saidye Bronfman Center for the Arts, and at the University of Concordia night art school. Recently in March 2020 he collaborated with fellow artist and friend Gianni Giuliano, to organize and curate the group exhibition titled “diver(s)gence” his first curatorial project, and something which he considers to be an important accomplishment as he strives to continue to look to take on new roles and challenges. Demetrios has participated in exhibitions since 2003 at Gallery Latitude 44 in Toronto, and at the Visual Arts Centre, Galerie Espace, and Galerie E.K. Voland, Galerie Beaux Arts des Ameriques and Galerie Erga in Montreal and Galerie de la Ville, Gallery ArtZone 42 in Athens, Greece. His artwork was also selected to appear in a Quebec-made film, entitled “Sur le Rythme”. His work is collected by and present in several businesses, corporations and private homes. Papakostas is represented by Denison Gallery in Toronto, Ontario and 1515 Lincoln Gallery in the US.
