Lot Essay

A Greek national, artist Pavlos (Pavlos Dionyssopoulos) moved to Paris in 1960 where he met the well known art critic Pierre Restany and the 'Nouveaux Réalistes'. Inspired by the Noveaux Réalistes in their reaction against abstraction and their use of materials found in everyday urban life, Pavlos entered an experimental phase in his work leading to his use of paper as the main medium of his oeuvre--this choice of medium would persist and continues today. Like Mimmo Rotella and Jacques de la Villegle, Pavlos employed ready made posters concentrating his technique exclusively on the use of this medium to create a unique multi-dimensional and abstract aesthetic.
