BACKGROUND
Kostas Seremetis was born in 1972. He started his career painting walls in Boston night clubs after high school, and by the age of 19, had his first exhibition. Since then, Kostas has developed an international underground following.

He has exhibited work all over the world: at the Parco Museum in Tokyo, Deitch Projects in New York, Made Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver, Colette in Paris and the Hyteck Convention Center in Hong Kong, to name a few. His work is sought out by private and corporate collections such as Nike and Berlin Movement.

In addition to painting, Kostas creates abstract short films. His films have been exhibited in the Laforett Museum in Tokyo and The Bonn International film festival in Berlin.

He has also collaborated on projects with bands, including The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, 20 Miles, DJ IZU and The Cult, and in the commercial world with corporations like Levis, Puma, Medicom Toys and NGAP.

Kostas's work has been featured in a number of magazines, including Tokion, Rolling Stone, Relax, Spectacle, Dazed and Confused and XLR8R. In 2002, he published his first book, Superhero & Six, and is currently working on a second, called The Seven Devils.


ARTIST STATEMENT:
NOW & NEVE® I once heard a story about a shaman, who went to the forest to die and to return to life enlightened. The forest is where he would find his power, strength and wisdom. The studio is my forest, my temple, my church - it's where I create and recreate. I've gone beyond Lex Luther and the Man of Steel, and entered a new stage in my life, with new vision and a wider spectrum, no longer limiting myself to proven formulas and hipster references. Now I am battling with contrasts and the unexpected: bullets & brushstrokes, abstract & structure, spartans & nomads, life & death, anarchy & peace, black & white, lovers & haters, reality & myths, coffee & cigarettes, science & fiction, NOW & NEVE®.

Kostas Seremetis lives in Brooklyn, New York, where he maintains a private studio and works as a full-time artist.
