Despina Stokou

12/14/13

A dynamic and layered composition, Despina Stokou's *12/14/13* combines oil, spray paint, marker, oil crayon, charcoal, pastel chalk, and collage on canvas to create a densely textured surface that pulses with raw energy. The work reflects Stokou's characteristic approach of merging urban visual language with expressive mark-making, where fragmented text, gestural strokes, and accumulated media collide in a controlled yet spontaneous dialogue. The resulting piece reads as both a record of process and a snapshot of cultural noise, inviting the viewer to navigate its overlapping layers of meaning.
