Kostis Georgiou was born in 1956, in Thessaloniki, Hellas. He currently lives and works in Athens, Hellas. He is deemed as one of the most important and distinguished male artists of the Hellenic contemporary art scene with his painting and sculptural work being evolved in parallel.
He studied painting and sculpture at the Athens School of Fine Arts (1982 – 1986), under professors Dimitris Mitaras and Dimosthenis Kokinidis, and in London, at the Royal College of Fine Arts(1985 – 1986), under professor Peter de Francia. He also studied stage scenery In Florence.
Between 1982-1988 he collaborated and worked as stage designer with major Hellenic theatre organizations, and the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT), the state-owned public radio and television broadcaster for Hellas.
Between 1988-1990 he was teaching painting and scenography at the Hellenic Cinema and Television School Stavrakos (H.C.T.S.S.), in Athens.
He held a great number of solo exhibitions in Hellas and abroad such as in: Niederhauser Gallery, Lausanne, Switzerland (2004, 2001) | Cartel Galleries, Malaga, Granada, Spain (2002, 2000, 1998) | Titanium Gallery, Athens (2002. 1998, 1997, 1996, 1993, 1990) | Kouros Gallery, New York, USA (2001) | Barbara Von Stechow Gallery, Frankfurt Germany (1998) | Acro 97, Madrid, Spain (1997) | United Nations, Geneve, Switzerland (1993) | Tokyo Art Expo, Tokyo, Japan (1992) etc.
His work has also been presented in several national and international group shows, and he has participated in numerous international Art Fairs and group exhibitions.
Suzhou Museum, China | Benaki Museum, Athens, Hellas | Absolute Americana Art Gallery, Florida, USA | State Museum of Modern Art, Thessaloniki, Hellas | Bank of Piraeus, Athens, Hellas | Hellenic Ministry for Culture | Hellenic Ministry for Tourism | National Bank of Greece | Eurobank | Hellenic Postbank | National Museum of Art, Osaka, Japan | Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Modern Art, Kobe City, Japan | Museo Civico, Italy | Cyprus Red Cross Society, are only few of the venues Kostis Georgiou exhibited.
Additionally, he is greatly involved with public art, making art available to the general public. His paintings and monumental sculptures are located in public squares or at the exterior of private collections among which to be noticed the Commanderie de Peyrassol, a sculpture garden at a 1200s vineyard, in Provence, South of France.
He was granted with several awards nationally and internationally including: First Prize, XX International Premio di Sulmona, Italy | Special Distinction, Osaka Triennale 93, Osaka, Japan | Special Distinction, Young European Artists 1995, BP Collection Brussels, Belgium | Special Prize, Young European Artists 1992, BP Collection Brussels, Belgium.
In parallel with his artistic career, he was contributing a column for the weekly financial newspaper Kerdos (Sunday issue) by the name Kerdolagnos.
Remarkable is his presence in the Press since a wide record of articles extensively refers to him and his work.
Kostis Georgiou works are to be found in important private and public collections, in established museums, foundations, organizations and institutions throughout the world.
Curator’s note: Design & Colour in Perfect Balance
Kostis Georgiou’s both sculptural and painting work is characterized by a lively colour palette, distorted figures of people and animals, and a rather large scale of stature.
On one hand, colours liable to explode, intense compositions arranged by sudden outburst, with an unrestrained expression of emotion that extracts a rather dramatic expressionist style, rule his painting production. On the other, sculptures and installations intercede ingeniously in space where displayed, with their colouration being more consolidated.
Paintings and sculptures deploy in parallel within Kostis Georgiou oeuvre, interchange or, occasionally, render their presence essentially equal in the same setting via a resourceful way.
Kostis Georgiou belongs to this distinct generation of the ’90s; a generation of creatives who experienced both the end of Cold War and the strain of the post era, but also the psychological consequences of the universal globalization that led them to redefine the movement of Expressionism by further reflecting its expressive power via more abstract mode and contemporary media.
Influences and effects absorbed by the social environment are transmitted and conveyed by Kostis Georgiou into thoughts, concerns and reflections through a totally personal artistic vernacular, indelibly charged with symbolic content. As a result, his act of creating ends up being transmuted into some kind of volatile manifestation.
A rather sensitive receiver himself of the existential agony of the man of modern society upon crucial matters of today’s multifaceted reality, the artist goes under the formulation of a version of a specific type of Abstract Expressionism that allows him to deliver his personal emotional states.
Preferably deforming forms and intense colours sign this special treatise between the artist and the audience deconstructing any existing convention plus renewing all perspectives.
As noted above, throughout his artistic career, expressiveness and intensity dominate his painting compositions. Canvases full of emotional charge, symbolism, sentimental and colour tension fashion a sense of overpowering momentum that works alongside with a playful game of contrasts. Formalistic objects and unnatural forms, almost monstrous, transcribe, in terms of perspective, colour and space, the timeless formal stimuli into a context that is both physical and symbolic. In particular, his portraits, over the challenging use of the third dimension through the impression of some kind of distorting reflector, in addition to forceful, reckless and rough brushstrokes, seem to project – to the fullest – in the style of Francis Bacon.
Over the years, the subjects of his images gradually transform their descriptiveness, develop themselves into biomorphic net forms, and exacerbate even more the sense of reality. This shift is most clearly seen in his sculpture where the original balance is upset by the manneristic morphological plasticity of his human or animal figures which move away from any typical depiction, symmetry or constructivist geometry. Characteristically massive, as autonomous entities and organic independencies, giving the illusion of a permanently move, with curved, calm shapes and plastic volumes, or much more with asymmetrical profile and elongated corpus members, his sculptural figures ensure their social functioning within the civil space, though synchronously showcase a rather tense behaviour and dynamic action.
Nevertheless, the artist is very much into the concern of the human presence, its place and occupation within space and time. ‘Space-time’ pluralism and expressionistic challenges constitute defining features of his art through which he chooses to disrupt norms’ conventions and unified structures, incorporating, quite often, lively, audacious and dynamic allusions. Even the colours Kostis Georgiou chooses enhance the distorted rendition of reality embedded in the artist’s making process, offer thought-provoking starting points whilst creating powerful stimulations for the viewer.
With a great number of exceptional exhibitions (solo and group) around the world, and participations to important international Art Fairs and Shows, Kostis Georgiou -including his past and recent work- has continuously exhibited a master’s skill for a distinctive artful personal technique, and an ingenious use of imagination, symbolism and metaphor.
Furthermore, noteworthy is the artist’s involvement with public art. A variety of sculptural works situated in internal or external public venues subsidize the evolution of culture as they contribute to an increasing volume to the expansion of the field of arts practice. Being there for everyone, they occupy a unique position within the city life, reflect the community values, and noiselessly eavesdrop the pulse of the society as a whole.
Undoubtedly, every public art project of Kostis Georgiou is an interactive process involving all, since public role and participation constitutes essential parameter. One person at time, the awareness and appreciation of the art of sculpture flourish every day in the eyes of the general public.
All people, even those who aren’t familiar with art, have the chance to be inspired, intrigued, motivated and provoked by the artist’s reputable public art-oriented and mission-specific creations around the globe.
On the whole, by inverting both his aesthetic approaches, painting and sculpture, into an abstract-expressionist, sharply contrasted and impactful scheme, it is of upmost challenge that Kostis Georgiou opposes any stereotypical satisfaction, and pursues to invite the audience to an alternative sort of apprehension. In this context, both approaches quite often transact with one having an exert influence and effect over the other in a meticulously charismatic way, with the viewers being on the receiving end of so fruitful an interaction.
