ZONGOLOPOULOS George

Born in Athens, he studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts.  In 1952, he moved to Italy where he specialized in bronze-casting techniques, gradually turning towards abstract art. In the early years, his sculpture became anthropocentric and, since the 1960s, he turned to abstraction, creating only metal works, in vertical and horizontal forms, animated by the prolapse and the movement of light. In the 1970s, motion sub served by nature, radically changing his perception of sculpture, which is increasingly associated with the environment and life. He received many official honors and his works are held in major public spaces in Greece, Europe and America.
