Kon Dimopoulos’s new series of prints were created last year while in lockdown in New York. These images reflect living through a year that changed the world, in a city that became, for a time, the epicenter of the global pandemic.

These landscape paintings are based on her memory of places across New Zealand. The paintings provide a backdrop for a cast of characters, who combine and merge their shapes with iconic New Zealand ceramics. These hybrid creatures are bound by the push and pull of their relationships. The scenarios depicted blend historical ‘truths’ with fanciful, surrealist visions. Ceramic vessels, gravy jugs, urns and egg cups become containers for history, memory and meaning. She references existing ceramics and embellishes them, creating her own designs. The vessels are abundant with wildlife and also loaded with historic and cultural ideas…

Nigel Buxton: It is difficult to paint from a grounded meaning, and for me the search has been intuitive. Both my father and I were deeply influenced by James K Baxter (1926-1972).The experience of being read poetry ‘that handled ideas like bombs’ was a kind of conversion….

Dr. Christina Lanzl: When conceptual and environmental artist Konstantin Dimopoulos moved to Melbourne, Australia, from New Zealand, he was struck by the abundance of trees in his new surroundings. With a population of 4.25 million, Melbourne boasts 70,000 trees, which cover 20 percent of the city—and city planners hope to increase that ratio to 40 percent. Besides being a beautiful sight, trees have an increasingly important role in this age of global warming; they trade carbon dioxide for oxygen, provide welcome shade, and bring nature into the city. Yet primordial forests globally have been reduced to just 30 percent of their original area, robbing the earth of these positive environmental impacts….

Fiona Gruber & Michael Cathcart: Konstantin Dimopoulos is an artist who is passionate about global issues. His previous works have brought attention to various problems, from homelessness to deforestation, and he is currently planning to take on the British Government over its refusal to hand back the Parthenon marbles. Dimopoulos is a firm believer that art can change the world. I have long been fascinated with colour and light. These are part of my Greek Orthodox psyche, the enriched, vivid icons that line the inside of Greek churches counterbalanced with the humility of the home in which I was raised….
