Born in Greece in 1956, Kostis Georgiou is a well-known Greek contemporary artist. He studied scenography in Florence, painting and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Athens and at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in London.
Kostis Georgiou's paintings and sculptures show a similar approach, evolving, alternating or coexisting together in the same space. Vibrant colors, deformed people or animals, and large dimensions are typical of his work. Kostis Georgiou's paintings are characterized by a dramatic expressionist style and explosive colors. In his sculptures and installations, the colors are more uniform, and the creative distortions and transformations make the artist's intervention in space more effective.
