In Lion woman with the crooked smile, Dimitris Tampakis fuses photography with traditional etching techniques, transferring imagery onto zinc through a chemical process that burns the surface rather than merely coloring it. The resulting black tones are the material’s own reaction to acid, yielding unpredictable, visceral textures. As light reflects across the metal, the image subtly shifts, creating a dynamic relationship between artwork, viewer, and environment. This piece exemplifies Tampakis’s embrace of process, chance, and the elemental forces of transformation.
