His overall post-minimalistic sculptures and installations use a simple visual language which not only entertains, but also opens discussions through the symbolisms embedded in them. At the same time, although employing ‘engineering’ craftsmanship and a rational creative process, his works end up being rather emotional and poetic, through their constantly surprising performance, which often mimics the organic behavior of nature.

Using mainly low-tech industrial materials, such as wood, metal, mechanical components and motors, often together with electronics, Koutsouris’ practice spans from automotive to interactive, from flat to three-dimensional and from silent to sound sculptures and installations.

Koutsouris graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2018. He also owns a MSc in Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens and a MSc in Acoustical Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark, where he studied with a 2-year Scholarship from the Alexander Onassis Foundation. He has also been trained in classical and rhythmic music.

…’Koutsouris has himself well studied the history of op art and more contemporary artists, who take the uncomforting risk to pose questions about the function of art in an exhibition space’…
‘He defends his art objects in their aesthetic appearance, as well as in their technical surface, their playful doings and finally their philosophical conceptual plane’…
‘In his theoretical understanding of acoustics, electronics and wave technologies Koutsouris debates mathematics and algorithm as an expression of chaos, order, chance and unpredictability, and their simultaneous existence. For Koutsouris the technical evolution is not just a regulative intervention within the social order, but also the expression of human activity in the process of a world building, that becomes more and more connective’…
