Der Strategist (2018) ist ein Akteur aus dem künstlerischen Universum von Niko Abramidis &NE. Die comicartige Tierfigur besteht aus einer Aluminiumplatte, die in einem ziegelartigen Steinsockel steckt. Der Strategist (dt. Stratege) ist mit vielen wohlbedachten Details und Elementen versehen, die auf seine Funktion verweisen. Nicht nur sein Aussehen erinnert an die Schachfigur des Springers, sondern auch der kleine Turm neben ihm verweist auf eines der ältesten Strategiespiele der Geschichte. Auf dem Turm, dessen Krone als Aschenbecher fungiert, liegt eine griffbereite Zigarre. Unter dem Schweif der Kreatur steckt die „Financial Times“, eine der führenden internationalen Wirtschaftszeitungen. Alle Elemente zusammen zeichnen das Bild einer Person, die jede Bewegung in den Märkten genau studiert und selbst durch Wissen und Kalkül erfolgversprechende Maßnahmen zu treffen weiß. In der Verschmelzung von tierischem Erscheinungsbild und menschlichen Attributen finden sich ebenso humorvolle, fabelhafte Zuschreibungen.
2018 wurde Niko Abramidis &NE mit dem ars viva-Preis für Bildende Kunst ausgezeichnet, im Zuge dessen seine Arbeiten, unter anderem Strategist, in einer Gruppenausstellung in der KAI 10 | Arthena Foundation in Düsseldorf ausgestellt wurden.

The Strategist (2018) is an actor from the artistic universe of Niko Abramidis &NE. The comic-like animal figure consists of an aluminum plate, stuck in a brick-like stone base. The Strategist is decorated with many well-considered details and elements referring to his function. Not only is its appearance reminiscent of the knight's chess piece, but also the small tower next to it refers to one of the oldest strategy games in history. On the top of the tower, of which the crown acts as an ashtray, lies a cigar ready to smoke. Underneath the creature's tail is a “Financial Times” paper, one of the leading international business newspapers. All these elements combined paint the picture of a person who studies every movement in the markets carefully and knows how to take auspicious measures through knowledge and calculation. In the amalgamation of an animal appearance with human attributes, there are also humorous, fabulous attributions.
In 2018 Niko Abramidis &NE was awarded the ars viva prize for visual arts, in this context his works, including Strategist, were shown in a group exhibition at the KAI 10 | Arthena Foundation in Düsseldorf.
