(b. Ottawa, Ontario, 1979)

 

Anthony Koutras was born in Ottawa, Ontario and currently lives and works in Toronto.

A graduate from The Ontario College of Art & Design, with a major in Photography (AOCAD), his multi-disciplinary art background informs his photographic practice.  Koutras’ work incorporates photography, and combines the medium with sculpture, installation and public intervention. His photo-based installations explore photography and its capacity to represent space and mimic objects.  By using photography to mimic his subjects, he creates false spaces and environments, inviting viewers to interact with the installation and experience their public realm in a new perspective.
