Vassilakis Takis (°1925)

Lives and works in Athens, Greece

1946 tarteds as a sculptor, Takis was interested in natural phenomena: stones molded by time and river water, the unexpected shapes taken by exploding metals. Some of his earliest manifestations consisted of explosions carried out in open places.
1954-1959 lived in Paris, the Cote d'Azur and London.
1954 first “Signals”
In “Telelumieres” he invited the public to watch the operation of an electromagnet
1960 presented his “Flying man” in which, the human body is kept hanging in mid-air by magnet at the Galerie Iris Clert.
1963 “Sound of the Void” shown at the exhibition For the eye and the ear in New York, presented for the first time the repetition concept of Takis music, which constitutes an original and substantial part of his work.

1980's onwards he began to produce works on a large scale
1985 won the Grand Prize at the Paris New Biennale
