Taxis

Dimitris Trimintzios aka Taxis(b. 1983) is a Polish-Greek artist who lives and works in Athens, Greece. He started doing graffiti in 1997 as a teenager, experimenting on walls, bombs, trains etc., before shifting to comics and illustrations. In 2017, he started painting murals, and has participated in several festivals around the world.

While Taxis’ themes often depict feelings of desolation and alienation, their humanity aims to manifest the reason there is something here rather than nothing. What guides his form is an effort to reexamine the obvious and construct meaning from the mundane.

He studied painting in the Athens School of Fine Arts, graduating in 2008. His work has been exhibited at various group shows in Europe, and two solo shows at Galo Art Gallery in Turin, and Underdogs Gallery in Lisbon.
