Giorgiko presents 'Back to School', a collection of eight new oil paintings reflecting on childhood school experiences. The works draw from the artists' memories and their twin sons' transitions to school, depicting moments filled with innocence and awkwardness. Scenes like dodgeball games, waiting for a parent, and picture day outfits illustrate the universal struggles of childhood. The artworks blend playfulness with warmth, aiming to evoke nostalgia for simpler times and remind viewers of the innocence of youth.
Students scramble in a game of dodgeball. A child patiently waits for a parent after school. Another gets dressed up in an itchy outfit chosen by their parents for picture day.
These fleeting scenes tap into the universal experiences of childhood and the early struggles to find one's place in the world.
With a mix of playfulness and compassion, Giorgiko paints these familiar tensions with warmth and tenderness.
We hope this show brings nostalgia and takes viewers 'back to school'-reminding them of a time of smallness and innocence.
