Deface and Displace – Nick Georgiou adds his unique interpretation to move the story onward


Last year, artist Nick Georgiou painted over some of Julian Winslow’s Portrait of a Town images to inspire creativity and play with the transient nature of street art


“Art, where do you draw the line? What is it? Where is it? What is the point and where does it end? Art makes people think, yet the art establishment can be inaccessible. Many people who view art in galleries often feel pressurised into liking it because they think they should, without having genuine affection for it. Public Art is for

Public/ Street Art continuously changes as it deteriorates, or is altered by those who feel inspired. Julian Winslow was up for a collaboration on his Portrait of a Town pieces, and the theme was Deface and Displace, to create a new metamorphic artwork. It may be seen as bad art and that’s ok. This is freedom of expression, and creates free thinking, which produces good art.”
