Kostas Tsoklis was born in Athens in 1930. He studied at the School of Fine Arts until 1954 and from 1957 to 1960 he continued his studies in Rome with a scholarship from the IKY. From 1960 to 1984 he lived and worked in Paris, with a short break in 1971-72 where he stayed in Berlin invited by the DAAD In 1984 he settled permanently in Athens. His work gained international attention from the late 60s when he began exhibiting the perspective “Objects”. Since then he has continued to systematically experiment with various means of expression, painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, constructions, video, performance, light and sound, looking for new ways of approaching objects, nature, myths but also of social problems. His participation in the 1986 Venice Biennale, where he represented Greece with a series of works such as “Damaged Fish” and “Portraits”, paintings on which the video image was projected, was a stop in this continuous reflection. These constituted the proposal for a “living painting” (living painting), which he developed in 1990 with the introduction of the specific viewing time in the visual work of art for the complex polythea Medea presented at the Cadran Solaire in Troyes (France).

Kostas Tsoklis has held over a hundred solo exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world, at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels (1971), the Kunsthalle in Dusseldorf (1972), the Pieridis Gallery in Athens (1983), the Luigi Museum Pecci in Prato, Italy (2000), at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens (2000-2001), at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence (2003), etc. while he has also participated in many international group exhibitions. In addition to “Medea”, he has also presented other artistic events with projection, light, sound, for example in the Castle of Rhodes in 1987, in Vendema, in Santorini in 1993, in the Mill of Thessaloniki in the context of the “Cultural Capital of Europe” 1997″ (“Artemis”) and in Istanbul in 2003.
