Krokatsis works with a wide range of materials, from smoke, found wood, broken glass, and antique mirrors, creating objects that oscillate between the "destitute and the divine".
In 2013 Krokatsis won a 'hotly-contested' commission from Hastings Borough Council, to produce a public sculpture to adorn the town's seafront.
His proposed 13 m (42 ft) polished aluminium Helter Skelter, with the texture of rough-hewn wood, beat out competition from Marcus Harvey, Oliver Marsden, Marete Masrusman, Graham Rich, and St Clair de Cemin.
However the £100,000 commission was later axed by Hastings Borough Council after a backlash from a small number of "nostalgia fetishists" living locally, who disliked the proposed sculpture.
Krokatsis received "vitriolic hate mail" and a crude 12 metre high replica of his Helter Skelter was burned at annual Hastings bonfire celebration.
