1959 – 1960

During the Sixties the artist, with unusual intuition, held in check the chance processes taking place in the interior of his images and harmonized the expressivity of the content with his technical uniqueness. The method of affixing of painting materials adopted by Spyropoulos, managed to encapsulate and assimilate the various textures into a uniform surface (both aesthetically and materially).

During the period when most of his contemporaries throughout the world were trying to find a way out of the limits imposed by two dimensions, and from the canvas itself, our own abstract classicist was “refining” his canvas through unremitting intervention. No layer of the surface contended with the preceding one. On the contrary, it assisted it, constantly bringing forth hidden qualities.
