Pierre Diamantopoulo

BORN:
1952

LIVES:
Sussex

EARLY LIFE:
He came to sculpture obliquely, having no formal art training, and having spent much of his early working life in the world of words. Born in 1952 in Cairo, Egypt of a French mother and a Greek father, he came to England with his parents as refugees during the Suez Crisis. He graduated from the University of Essex with a degree in literature and his first career was in corporate advertising as a copywriter.

CAREER:
In 2007, he was commissioned, with the assistance of the Arts Council England to create a monumental work in steel, spanning 22 metres, as part of the Tees Valley Regeneration programme. Pierre is currently working on a monumental bronze sculpture for the Hove Plinth on the UK South coast, titled "Flight of the Langoustine", involving four life-size figures.

MEDIUMS USED IN WORK:
ceramic, steel, and bronze

SUBJECTS OF WORK:
Animals and figures

EXHIBITIONS:
He has featured in The Cass Sculpture Foundation’s New Concept Gallery for Monumental Art since 2001 and has been invited to exhibit in the Twenty-First Century British Sculpture Exhibition at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, in 2002. He has exhibited work widely, including at the Royal Pavilion Contemporary Art Gallery, Brighton, Christies, Mappin & Webb, Harrods and Aspreys in London and the Tryon Gallery, Cork Street, London.
