Through his new exhibition Waiting room — a series of oil paintings on canvas of tense colours — Savas Georgiadis puzzles himself on human portrait. In the words of art historian Iris Kritikou “Georgiades now proposes us a true archetypical place full of personal codes and riddles, invoking the subconscious and fabricating the “how”, extracting the stories that the models are hesitating to narrate, doubting what seems and depicting with consistency what is; the things that he perceives and not the things he sees”.
Georgiades, while talking about his most recent work, supporting with his transparent words what he almost obsessively runs after in his recent work, thoroughly describes the agony of the painting in a point that connects with the agony of the model, imprinting the “now” of the pose and listening the before and the after of the represented: the canopy of the house map behind the closed door of his view. The invisible membrane of doubt taking with him, for every resolved decision that might be proved wrong. The liquid fear of every day that in its passing by mutates to a complicated wild desire.
