Kristen Giorgi fuses the tangible and ethereal. Drawing from her own experiences and the boundless territories of her imagination, Giorgi’s work interrogates the ways in which reality and fantasy intersect. Her practice, a dialogue between abstract landscapes and the figurative female form, create a dynamic interplay where each element both informs and reflects the other.
Working from her studio in Atlanta, Giorgi employs a technique of layering acrylics with oils on heavy upholstery grade linen, often mixing pigments directly on the floor. This process infuses her scenes with a radiant glow, as if illuminated from within. Suns and moons, central motifs in her repertoire, symbolize the interplay between light, form, and emotion. They thread throughout her work, juxtaposing vibrant washes of color with darker, more introspective hues to strike a balance that pulses with life.
“I want my work to feel like light beaming from behind,” Giorgi explains, capturing the essence of moments where life and emotion intersect. This approach imbues her work with layered meaning, offering viewers a gateway to a realm where the mystical seamlessly integrates with the material.
