Kostis Georgiou - Pixels
A pixel, short for picture element, is the smallest element of an image that can be illuminated or darkened. And so it is, with the paintings and sculptures of Kostis Georgiou. Infused with an alchemy of brilliant colors, these smallest controllable elements burst with emotion and lyricism. With effusive intensity, Georgiou distills and rarefies his subjects to reach their underlying form and meaning.
His canvasses transition seamlessly from two dimensions to three: figures morph into sculptures, appearing as though they live and breathe. From human beings to mythology, Kostis Georgiou remains true to his Greek roots, alchemically forging his art and culture to a modern, yet all at once ancient, resonance.
Abstract expressionists have long practiced a language of change, of seeing what the naked eye cannot grasp. Georgiou’s works evoke a sense of awareness, of seeing in a different way. He speaks through this reduction of primary colors and majestic forms as he transforms his images to reality. And we? Are we ever the same once we channel into these worlds? If we open our eyes and our minds, Georgiou’s paintings and sculptures guide us to places beyond our imagination.
With “PIXELS,” Kostis Georgiou gives us a portal to the tiniest elements of universes that are light and dark all at once: worlds that combine the known and the unknown; old faces, new forms and beings that morph into strange and exquisite characters.
