Light defines the starting point and basis of Stephen Antonakos's work varying from his austere minimal proposals with the arches, ellipses, and angles, to his poetic juxtapositions of artificial and painterly light, his large scale installations in public space, his Chapels referring to the byzantine tradition, and his imposing compositions in which visible and invisible, material and non-material find themselves in a borderline relation-harmony.
