About Giorgio
George Michael Binns
George (Giorgio) Michael Binns brings to his paintings a background in commercial art and a sensibility towards the wide range of possibilities of human consciousness, creating paintings as much mindscape as landscape. His work has been described as playful, exquisite, daring, unusual, exciting, spontaneous, vibrant and other-worldly.
On Valuing Art
Artist Statement
The only constant in the world is change and my paintings are a portrait of my ever changing creative process. On a daily basis we deal with a multitude of stimuli from multi-dimensional realities. My art is a juxtaposition of multi-dimensions; a journey into the mystique. My styles, techniques and subject matter are as broad as the day is long. I am looking forward with great enthusiasm and anticipation to stretching the boundaries of my imagination - believing that what we can conceive, we can actualize - and to giving complete freedom to my spirit, allowing it to reveal things unimagined.
