Born in Limnos, Greece in 1949, he migrated to Melbourne in 1957 and studied at the National Gallery School with John Brack and Alun Leach-Jones. He was the studio assistant to both Fred Williams and John Brack shortly after finishing his studies. Laspagis also worked for ten years as a lecturer in the drawing department of the Victorian College of the Arts. He has dedicated his life to working with oil on canvas, drawings and in print media. A prominent theme is his work has continued to be the exploration of the local landscapes. Although many of his works are painted in the style of abstraction, there are clear visual references to the surrounds of Knox in his work, including this painting titled The Forest - Regeneration.
