Giorgiko: Strangers and Exiles
Throughout time, we鈥攈umanity鈥攈ave been uprooted and displaced, whether by choice or by force. We wander the wastelands of generations past as strangers and exiles, looking for another home beyond the horizon. We scorn or lament the ruins of empires, yet fail to see the sins of our fathers reborn in us. As we journey to find a better country, we meet an uncrossable sea, the shore of the end of ourselves. The oppressor we run from is within us. Who, then, will save us from ourselves? What hope is there for the lost children of the guilty and damned?
In 鈥楽trangers and Exiles鈥�, artist duo Giorgiko鈥檚 childlike characters venture on a perilous journey through wilderness and rubble. Their long and lonely exodus begins with fire and ends at the sea. Through 13 new oil paintings of both intimate and grandiose scale, Giorgiko continues to explore the themes of searching for home and humanity鈥檚 bitter cycles.
