Georg Óskar  (b. 1985, Iceland) lives and works in Oslo, Norway.

Georg Óskar is a contemporary painter based in Oslo, working through an inside-out, process-driven approach focused on psychological presence and material honesty.

Georg  works from an inside-out painting process in which psychological states, rather than premeditated composition, determine form. His paintings develop through accumulation, rupture, and revision, with traces of decision and collapse left visible on the surface.

Faces and figures appear not as fixed representations but as moments of psychological presence. Paint functions as both material and register, carrying tension, vulnerability, and duration. Rather than resolving images toward clarity, Georg allows instability and ambiguity to remain active within the work.

His practice is grounded in sustained engagement with painting as a physical and temporal process. Surfaces are built slowly, resisting polish and narrative closure, and reward prolonged looking rather than immediate recognition. The work privileges emotional depth and material honesty over stylistic coherence or spectacle.

Situated within a lineage of instinctive, materially driven painting, Giannakoudakis’ work remains rooted in lived experience rather than historical quotation. His paintings operate as sites of presence — attentive to inner states, time, and the limits of control.
