Description

Nikos Kouroussis, in an endless quest for artistic perfection, sensitive and aware of the social and political issues, is inspired by the forces of nature and they become an important part of his art, addressing now environmental, energy and survival issues that concern us globally.

Through the concepts and abstract forms of the four archetypal elements of nature, sun, wind, earth and water, he demonstrates a unique response to universal problems and illustrates aspects of illusion and reality, nature and technology, art and science, which can be reinterpreted visually to lead us into a new understanding of their antithesis to each other and to reveal their common dependency on the natural environment which sustains oil. ….

The colours of the solar spectrum fascinate the artist and he explores them extensively in his work. Brilliant reds, yellows, blues and greens are splashed with sweeps, mists, twists and veils against dark, mysterious backgrounds, symbolizing the consequences of our careless behavior which creates pollution, destruction, chaos and catastrophy of our Mother Earth. At the same time they become the source of amorphous shining shapes which emerge and crash open revealing the inherent potential of clean energy.
