With a reconfigurable bronze sculpture, artist duo Giorgiko reflect on the invisible magic of human connection.

Unacquainted Friends places kindred spirits Wonder and Maria back-to-back. The pair are connected by a looped golden arch that rises from a small bowl which each holds, the lustre of the arch juxtaposing the earthy patina of the figures.

The sculpture encourages interaction - its figures can be rotated around the arch in different orientations, reflecting the various stages of friendship. Through playful movement, Giorgiko hope that viewers will consider that we are all perpetually connected by our humanity.

Note that due to their patinated surfaces, each figure needs to be handled with care using the gloves provided to avoid tarnish.

Giorgiko1 collaborationGiorgiko is not only an artist – it is also a universe. Masterminded by Darren and Trisha Inouye, the Giorgiko Universe is home to wayfaring girls and lost boys. Fantasy and sweetness are injected with a street-art, darker edge. They juxtapose the bold innocence of childhood with anarchist environments. The duo’s process begins with ideation between the two, often starting with Darren sharing ‘shower thoughts’ with Trisha. Trisha draws and redraws. She provides childlike sweetness – inspired by children’s books. Darren provides the paint, inspired by hip-hop and graffiti. Real people inform some characters, while others are created as purely fictional. Fusing character illustrations, minimalism and classical painting style, the works are timeless – neither real nor surreal.
