Artist
Michael Lekakis
Michael Lekakis was an American sculptor and painter active in the postwar period, known for abstracted biomorphic forms that bridged modernist sculpture and gestural painting. Working across bronze, wood, and canvas, he developed a vocabulary of organic, curved shapes that suggested the human figure without literal representation.
