Angelos Kotzias

Angelos Kotzias (Greece, 2002) is a London-based artist. He specialises in sculpture, painting, and spatial forms. His work explores memory, landscape, movement, and the inner emotional environment of humans. Kotzias completed his BA in Fine Art at UCA Farnham, continuing his studies for a Masters in Arts and Humanities at the Royal College of Art in London. He was a finalist for the Freelands Foundation Painting Priza 2023, while also had work selected for the 2022 Beijing Fiber Art Biennale. Rooted in a Mediterranean cultural background and shaped by London's urban density, Kotzias uses the concept of materiality in his work to tell a story inspired by literature, personal memory, and lived experience. His current practice navigates the tension between natural environments and metropolitan confinement. His works are composed of found objects, often collected from scrap yards and abandoned machines, and he manipulates their mechanisms to create improvised, engineered kinetic sculptures, experimenting with movement and questioning the need for and understanding of the complex technology around us. His sculptural work explores systems that appear purposeful but operate without clear necessity.
