DIMOS
SKOULAKIS (1939-2014)
Born in Athens,
Dimos Skoulakis studied painting with
Panos Sarafianos (1956-1957) and later at the School of Fine Arts with
Yannis Moralis and Yiorgos Mavroidis (1960-1965). He
completed
his studies with stage scenery by Vassilis Vassiliadis
(1963-1965). In 1968-1969 he traveled to North and South
America
and Europe (Paris, London, West Berlin), where he had the opportunity
to study the classic works of great masters of the European Art and to
come in immediate contact with the contemporary art movements and
especially those of pop-art and critical realism. He had his
first solo exhibition in Athens (1981), but had participated, already
since 1961, to a series of group shows. The human figure is
paramount in his hyperrealist work. Dimos Skoulakis passed
away
in
Athens (2014).
