Eugenia Raskopoulos was born in the Czech Republic in 1959. Since her first solo exhibition in 1984 at Darklight Photography Gallery Fremantle, Western Australia, Raskopoulos has used photography and video to explore abstract visuals and settings, concentrating on themes of communication, interaction and the ambiguity of language. Works such as Footnotes [2012] – a three screen installation work of images of feet daubed with red letters that aligned to suggest words – highlighted the tendency in viewers to interpret coherence within abstraction.
After gaining a Bachelor Degree of Visual Arts at Sydney College of the Arts, Sydney in 1979, Raskopoulos studied in Western Australia [Post-Graduate Art & Design (Photography), Western Australia Institute of Technology] she undertook photographic workshops in Rockport, Maine, USA in 1986. In 1993 Raskopoulos was awarded a Master of Fine Arts and in 2011 her doctorate, both from the College of Fine Arts, University of NSW.
