HOPE was born in Athens, where he currently lives and works.
His practice is multi faceted. It includes posters, performance pieces, works on canvas, fanzines, and collages. His posters are a diverse compilation of elements and imagery from different ancient civilizations and subcultures that are collaged together in large-scale totemic assemblages, while his performance pieces deal with the reinvention, on the order of idealization.
HOPE’s performance pieces have been presented at XYZ OUTLET, “I WANT TO HEAR NEW WAR” (2011) Athens , at Kunsthalle Athena,”CARGO” (2010), at gallery KNOT,Athens, performance with Michele Valley ”BUILDING THE HOUSE OF PHOENIX” (2010), at OSTRALE '10, International exhibition of contemporary art, Ostragehege Dresden, Germany” WORKING JAWS IN SILENCE” (2010), at : e’ clepsydre HBC , Berlin, Germany, “A GUIDANCE ON HOW TO BECOME A DARK SHADOW” (2010), at Athens Photo Festival 2009 “A VOCABULARY FOR THE CONSOLATION OF THE FLESH” (2009). He recently participated in NY Art Book Fair that took place in MOMA, New York with his publication that included photos from his performances, “thesewarsareoutburstofhypnosisonlythemasksareforreal” (2009), as part of the curated exhibition “Journal of Aesthetics and Protest”.
