About the Artist
Yorgo Alexopoulos is an American-born artist of Greek descent who combines a variety of media into immersive fine art installations and artworks. He is best known for his moving image works that fuse painting, drawing, photography, and cinematography into video installations and mixed-media sculptures. He often presents these works by combining and synchronizing multiple monitors or projections. Alexopoulos' artworks are concerned with the archetypal and often touch upon transcendental themes. Though he is frequently referred to as a digital artist, his practice is rooted in painting, the artist’s primary medium. Yorgo's 40,000 Lego constructed monolith sculpture in the West Collection is a black 10' sculpture with a pictograph to communicate with alien life forms showing the population of earth, that humans are made of DNA, etc. (https://www.yorgo.org/biography)
