George Ioannou was born in Croydon,
South London in 1974. His early inspiration came from
the comic book heroes of the 1960s and 1970s, and having
gained his art A-level, his early ambition was to be a
cartoonist.
For a time though, he found himself working in estate
agency, though he never lost his passion for art, and was
always more drawn to the interior aesthetic rather than the
bricks and mortar of the properties he worked with.
To answer his desire to be involved in a more creative
profession, Ioannou studied television and film, which in
turn brought him back to the screen icons who had influenced
his life, whose craft he admired, such as Al Pacino.
He then began to take on numerous acting roles, both on the
big screen, including Die Another Day, and on the
television, in The Bill.
Ultimately, it was buying his own house that brought Ioannou
back to creating art. Faced with bare walls, he
visited art galleries, but couldn’t find anything that truly
inspired him. So he painted his first canvas, of Al Pacino
in Scarface; and as he says; ‘the house loved it…!’
Eventually, with the encouragement of everyone who saw and
loved Al Pacino, Ioannou was persuaded to paint a
series of work for publication.
For his first series of ‘icon’ images, Ioannou has painted,
by choice, on the films and film stars that inspired him
personally the most. He works in acrylic on canvas,
taking many hours to select and draw the initial image by
hand, determining the balance of form and shading needed to
capture the mood of the piece. He then chooses and
mixes his colours to further enhance the vibrancy and
emotion of the image, before finally applying paint to
canvas.
While George Ioannou’s work may be referenced to that of the
great 1960s artist Andy Warhol and the whole ‘pop-art’
genre, he reintroduces us to this style in a new Millennium
with his own unique palette. |
