GEORGE SARDIS, ATTICA
Member Since February 2012
Artist Statement Born in Piraeus, 1958. Although his formal studies were on Economics, his love for the Visual Arts has always been his dominant interest. He was initiated in the secrets of colours, shape and mold by important Greek and foreign masters of the Arts. Giorgos Sardis participated at his first public appearings into collective and private exhibitions, and that way, through Art Halls and Museums, his work has found its way into private collections. For a long period he was occupied in the field of fashion, by designing fabric and painting on clothing. His latter relation with sculpture led his artistic form in a game of harmonical balance [painting and anaglyph (relief)] thus adding a new dynamic in his works. Later he was involved in alternative therapies [Art Therapy] in which arts painting and sculpting are aiding the process of self – awareness and self – healing[Chromatotherapy].
Since January 2009 he has undertaken the artistic direction for the cultural multi-space “Ash in Art”, creating a Network of Visual Arts Technophiles [N.Vi.A.T.] for the promotion of new, arising artists. In Nicaea (greater Athens area) he will inaugurate the Visual Arts Festival, under the title : “Cross Over”, on July 29th, to celebrate the five years of the “Ash in Art”. The festival will host 100 artists, who will begin the artistic tour around Greece. First stops: Nicaea – Patmos – Ithaca.
In 2009, in collaboration with the musician Poupeta Lappa, they created the audio – visual ensemble under the name: “Chameleon” . In their joint appearances the improvisational performing creates tonal and chromatic games.
