Giorgos Gyparakis

BIO

He is Professor of Visual Arts at the School of Architecture, National Technical University of Athens.

He studied sculpture at the Aristotle University School of Fine Arts and graphic design at the Vakalo School.

Since the late 1990s, his work has been presented internationally, including the XLVI Venice Biennale and the Triennale of Sculpture in Osaka and Marseille. He has held eight solo exhibitions and participated in more than one hundred group shows in Greece and abroad.

Alongside his visual practice, he has designed scenography, handcrafted musical instruments and costumes for films, theatrical productions and performances. His recent work investigates the commercialization of leisure and the continuous translation of cultural experience into data, algorithms and graphic systems.

His works are held in permanent collections of museums and institutions.

Giorgos Gyparakis is an Athens-based visual artist and educator. His practice confronts the cultural dynamics of contemporary life, balancing gesture, object and metaphor while probing how human experience becomes coded in our data-driven world.
