“Konstantin Dimopoulos is one of Weiwei’s kindred spirits. He is a social and performance artist whose artworks are grounded in his sociological and humanistic philosophies.” - Embracing Change Through Art, Design & New Leadership by Ilaria Forte and Dr. Peter Everts, Germany.
Konstantin Dimopoulos is an artist and sculptor whose artwork is based on a humanist philosophy. Dimopoulos’s multidisciplinary art practice incorporates sculpture, installation, performance, painting, printing, 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.
His social art installations lend voice to global issues around social justice and the environment, specifically deforestation. He focuses on creating art with “a visual platform to effect change.” Placing his sculptures with organic forms in developed urban environments, he draws attention to the processes of transformation and change.
Dimopoulos graduated from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, with a degree in sociology and psychology. He later went on to study art at the Chelsea School of Art in London. His signature linear sculptures are a part of public spaces and private collections throughout Australia and internationally in the United States, Europe, and New Zealand.
Throughout his career, Dimopolous has been nominated for numerous awards in recognition of his artistic achievements, particularly his ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental issues.
