Nick Georgiou crafts elaborate, anthropomorphic sculptures from discarded printed materials, providing a new kind of value to the slowly fading technology. Born in Queens, New York, and now working beneath the vast colorful skies of Tucson, Arizona, Georgiou explores the intersection of technology, obsolescence and memory. 

Each piece is composed entirely of reclaimed texts, dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, novels and journals, collaged into new visual languages that fuse the tactile with the conceptual. His work is both elegy and celebration. A tactile archive of a vanishing medium, rendered with color, emotion and uncanny life. 

He has collaborated with brands like Hermès, for a site specific installation in their flagship store’s windows on Madison Avenue in New York City, and Dolce and Gabanna for their Alta Gioielleria jewelry collection at the New York Public Library. Georgiou’s work is in the permanent collections of The Washington Post Company, the Tucson Museum of Art, Oxford University Press and has been featured in publications such as Hi-Fructose, Juxtapoz and Vogue magazine. 

In Tucson, you can see his work at the Tucson Museum of Art, Tumamoc Hill Greenhouse, Sidecar, The Century Room, Whole Slice Pizza, and The National.
