Yiorgo Yiannopoulos is an artist based in Sydney whose work is devoted to the systems through which people meet each other. His work speaks to the ways we negotiate our desires, revealing both the pragmatism and the meticulously choreographed seduction at play. Yiorgo is focused on spaces which allow for people to fulfill their desires and find intimacy in covert ways which often defy convention. His research into the queer sexual geography of Sydney takes a multifaceted approach, contrasting empirical practices with deeply personal methodologies.
Yiorgo graduated from Sydney College of the Arts with First Class Honours (2015) and was the recipient of the Artereal Gallery Mentorship Award (2015). He has presented work in solo and group exhibitions locally and interstate.
