Wheatfield With Crows

Konstantin Dimopoulos is internationally acclaimed for his sculptures and installations. Based in Australia, he was born in Egypt to a Greek family and grew up in New Zealand. This experience of living in many cultures has directly influenced his work – which examines the question of place and identity. His work is featured in public art collections throughout Europe and the United States. In 2011 and again in 2014, he was a featured artist at the Vancouver Biennale of Public Art.

The visitors to Meadows Community Recreation Centre will experience Wheatfield with Crows by Konstantin Dimopoulos. The piece is a sculptural installation composed of five vertical groupings of rods varying in height from 2 to 7 metres. Coloured inshades of yellow and golden browns, the rods will move with the wind. This will give the effect of a gently waving field of what or grass. The artist will also hand paint each sculpture with the shadows of crows.
