Giorgos Georgiadis

His sculptural style is mainly expressionist and his themes are anthropocentric with symbolist hints. Seated female forms are his dominant theme, often headless, alone or in groups, and in positions indicating physical and mental tension. His technique is complete and rather traditional, with subtle deformations which stress expression. Most of his works are cast in bronze. A humanitarian vein and a critical commentary of social problems characterize his entire work, aesthetically and thematically.
His first solo exhibition was in 1974 in Athens (Nees Morfes gallery).
More solo exhibitions would soon follow in Athens, Thessaloniki and other European cities.
In 1994, an honorary retrospective exhibition was organized at the Cultural Center of Maroussi.
He has participated in many group exhibitions in Greece and abroad (France, Italy, Egypt, Netherlands, Monaco, Norway, Tai Pei, U.S.A.). In 1984, he represented Greece at the 41st Venice Biennale, along with painter Christos Karas. Part of his work has been created in collaboration with architects for building decoration. His sculptures can also be found in Greek public places.
