The sculptor Georgios Georgiadis was born in Marousi in 1934 and passed away in Athens in 2010.
He studied sculpture at the Athens School of Fine Arts (1954–1959) under Yannis Pappas. In Florence, on a scholarship from the Eugenides Foundation, he was taught metalworking techniques by B. Bearzi, while in 1975, he received another scholarship from the Ford Foundation.
He taught drawing (1960–1980) at the Doxiadis Schools (Athens Technological Institute – ATI) and the Petras School.
The dominant theme of his sculpture is the study of the seated, steatopygian female form wrapped in drapery, merging elements of classical (torso) and modern sculpture, as well as heterogeneous materials, with an emphasis on pure plastic elements. The human/female body—mutilated, headless, violently deformed, non finito, with expressive density and movement, solitary or in clusters—engages in a contrapuntal and allegorical dialogue with classicist garments and the polished, fully-wrought lute. He presented his work in solo exhibitions (Athens, Thessaloniki, Berlin) and participated in numerous group exhibitions (Panhellenic Exhibitions 1960, 1963, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1971, 1973, 1987; Biennale des Jeunes, Paris 1960; Panhellenic Youth Exhibition, French Institute 1961; Exposition Internationale de Sculpture Contemporaine, Musée Rodin 1971, 1976, 1978; Les Arts en Europe, Brussels 1976; Alexandria Biennale 1976; Venice Biennale 1984, etc.).
He was honored with the 1st prize for sculpture at the Panhellenic Youth Exhibition (1961), the 1st prize for sculpture at the Les Arts en Europe exhibition in Brussels (1976), and the 2nd prize for sculpture at the Alexandria Biennale (1976), among others.
His works are located in museums and private collections in Greece and abroad.
