A versatile artist that defies easy classification, Pavlos is best known for his colorful collages and objects made from fine strips of printed paper. Towards the end of his career he was interested in rendering his pictorial images into bronze sculptures and he subsequently made three sculptures with the subject of trees, one of which is presented here. The tree (and the natural environment in general) is a recurrent subject in Pavlos’ oeuvre. He made various collages of this theme with his trademark technique of sticking together strips of paper. In the early 70s he exhibited an installation of a forest of 26 gigantic trees in the Grand Palais.
