Signs

Dimitris Ntokos works mainly with acrylics and oils in bright colors. It is striking that most symbols are not repeated on the surface he has chosen to work on, be it a canvas, a car, a wall, or a mirror. One symbol follows the other, therefore unfolding a mysterious papyrus, a cryptic letter, and a coded diary, the symbols of which are interpreted through the eyes of each viewer. Dimitris Ntokos offered, throughout his career, a shift from the story to the letter. Through this solo exhibition, the artist turns our gaze to the "beginning" of his characteristic artistic identity and reveals that each of the symbols is a letter and that its alphabet consists of 26 letters. Each representation hides a letter from the Latin alphabet without expressing a note or a syllable. Whether each represents a whole concept, retelling a story, remains an open question.
