GIORGOS TSAKIRIS

In his paintings and engravings until 1980, the influence he received from the painting of Francis Bacon is evident, while numbers and mathematical symbols, elements of Greek and Latin writing, which form words and phrases, are incorporated in the compositions. Gradually the surfaces lose their conventional square or rectangular shape.
