Iliakis Kostas

Iliakis Kostas is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Athens School of Fine Arts.

Kostas Iliakis shaped metal into unflinching human figures, chiseling sharp planes and quiet volumes from bronze and steel. Look closely at Head of a Man (1957) or Daughter’s Head (1959) and you’ll feel the warmth of the hand behind the tool. Try tracing the edges of Female Semi-Nude (1961) or the wiry lines of Outdoor Study (1963) and see how a drawing can still carry weight. If you like the blunt honesty of early modernism, tap into Metalwork next.
