Various factors have l to a weird new exhibiting history for Sperakis. allowing he is New York-based, his last U solo present to view was in 1984; meanwhile, he's had 13 elsewhere: three in Germany, nine in Colombia and a 300-item retrospective at Autonomous National University of Mexico. The Alexander s Onassis Center of Hellenic Studies at fresh York University has recently begun to exhibit artists with hellenic connection Sperakis was second up with 20 novel paintings (all from the '90s) and a series of black woodcuts Sperakis uses oil paint mixed with beeswax and vermiculite, to which he adds acrylic and modeling paste, working the layers up to an inch thick with carved channels It's sculpto-painting, with angular outlined confined apartments within larger shapes, reminiscent of Synthetic Cubism. Bands of burning intense hues suggest haloes of power His sensitive colorism conveys an exuberant tropical folk taste. Sperakis is also single of our most important makers of woodcut prints. He became known for them in the 1960 while he was still in his 20s; his woodcut are held in museums upon four continents. From a hardly any inches across to 15 feet in their largest dimension, they were among the earliest recent murallic prints. The new individuals continue to be vigorous.
