Nick Georgiou简介

Nick Georgiou,1980 年出生在纽约，毕业于纽约大学蒂诗艺术学院电影电视专业美术学士学位。毕业后，曾在独立电影中担任制片设计师和艺术总监，后成为一名全职雕刻师。

他用废旧报纸创作出手工缝制的精细雕塑，完美融入到城市环境当中。他的雕塑为那些在大街上搜罗的废旧书籍和报纸注入了活力，让这些印刷文字在当代社会重获新生。

他曾参与各种各样的项目，包括牛津大学出版社和华盛顿邮报公司委托的项目。他的作品曾在伦敦的Black Rat Press与安迪帕现代画廊展出，也曾参加过纽约地区的多个展览。最近在图森举办了个人展览，在亚利桑那大学展示了自己的作品，并发表了演讲。

Nick Georgiou was born in NYC, in 1980. He received his BFA in Film and Television from New York Universities' Tisch School of the Arts. After graduation, he worked as a Production Designer and Art Director on independent films before focusing full time on his career as a sculptor.

Georgiou creates meticulously hand-stitched newsprint sculptures, which he integrates into the urban environment. His sculptures breathe new life into discarded books and newspapers found on the streets and comments upon the regeneration of the printed word in contemporary society.

Some of the diverse projects he's been involved in include being commissioned by Oxford University Press and the Washington Post Corporation. His works have also been exhibited at Black Rat Press and Andipa Modern galleries in London as well as featured in several shows in the New York area. His most recent solo exhibition brought him to Tucson where he exhibited and lectured at the University of Arizona.

作者自述:

我的艺术灵感来自纸质印刷品的消失。书籍、报纸正成为21世纪的手工艺品。整个社会正在遗弃纸质消费，走向全数字生活。我的雕塑作品是其所在环境的产物——这种说法不仅是字面上的，也是象征意义上的。只要有可能我就会使用当地报纸，以增加艺术品的真实性；雕塑作品的形式也是我对该城市个人情感的反映。从日常角度来看，我受周围事物的影响很大。目前，我从美国西南部，尤其是我所生活和工作过约4年的亚利桑那州图森市获得了很多灵感。从纽约去到沙漠是一个很戏剧化的转变。当视线不再被建筑遮挡时，你对空间的概念扩大了。你会更加关注自然，因为你总处在自然之中——并且会尽你所能保护自然。

My art is inspired by the death of the printed word. Books and newspapers are becoming artifacts of the 21st century. As a society we're shifting away from print consumption and heading straight towards full digital lives. My sculptures are products of their environment —both literally and figuratively. As often as I can, I use local newspapers to add authenticity, and the form the sculpture takes is a reflection of the personal connection I feel to that particular city. From a day-to-day standpoint, I'm heavily influenced by my surroundings. These days, I draw inspiration from America's South West, and in particular Tucson, AZ--where I've lived and worked for almost four years. Going from NY to the desert is a pretty dramatic shift. Your concept of space expands when it's not obstructed by buildings. You pay closer attention to nature because you're always in it—and you do what you can to preserve it.
