George Petrides
George Petrides is a figurative sculptor who lives in New York City and Athens.
Biography[edit]
Petrides grew up in both the United States and Greece, in a family that was "in love with the arts, both the visual arts and music."[1] He worked first as an investment banker on Wall Street, but also studied art at the New York Studio School and at the Academie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, and is currently working as a full-time professional artist.[1]
Work[edit]
Petrides has shown his work at galleries in New York City, Athens and Mykonos.[2][3]
Style[edit]
Petrides draws and paints, but his primary focus is sculptures of the human figure. His process involves sculpting a core from a model, then later layering on different materials and carving into them until the final look is achieved. His project is to capture "human experience in the form of the body and the head, exploring the beauty and the imperfection of people and of life."[4]
