Panayiotis Kalorkoti (born 11 April 1957 in Ayios Amvrossios, Cyprus) is a contemporary British artist. As well as painting in acrylics and watercolour he does drawings and also experimented with etchings, screenprints and lithographs. He tends to produce a series of paintings for a specific exhibition. He works within specific terms of reference and his work has been described as an entirely modern iconography. Most of the work tends to be in groups and it is in the serial works that the viewer will sense a certain questioning and re-focusing.[1]

Panayiotis was born in Cyprus in 1957 and moved to the United Kingdom in 1966. He studied at Newcastle upon Tyne University (1976–80) and the Royal College of Art, London (1982-85).[1]

Background

Kalorkoti has had exhibitions in Britain and abroad which include the Imperial War Museum, London, National Portrait Gallery, London, and National Garden Festival, Gateshead. He has worked on major public projects, such as the Grizedale Society, Cumbria and has been artist in residence for the Leeds Playhouse and has won fellowships, scholarships and commissions. He has exhibited regularly in a number of public galleries and museums.[2][3][4]

Artistic career

Kalorkoti has been a part-time visiting lecturer at a number of art schools and won a Netherlands Government Scholarship (1986-87); was Bartlett Fellow in the Visual Arts at Newcastle University (1988); was artist in residence at Cleveland County (1992); and has had a number of other artist in residence.[5] Kalorkoti has had many commissions and the British Council[6]; Imperial War Museum; Laing Art Gallery; Hatton Gallery; and Stedelijk Museum have his work in their collection.
