Writing the Light

Άγιος Γεώργιος, St. George | “...In a world such as this, the world of saints is a spark that keeps the reality of light alive in the darkness. The world of saints stands its ground unassumingly in the chaos of fragmentation, looks around lovingly, opens its tireless arms and embraces it all. It parts its lips and whispers a few meaningful words, an apology, an “I love you.”
~ George Kordis

We celebrate the Feast of St. George with an icon of the Saint, made by in 2022 during an online Open Studio painting class with Writing the Light students. It was both a rare learning experience and a chance to enter into knowing the Saint more deeply through these creative moments (with video clips taken through the computer screen thousands of miles from where Kordis was painting in Athens…). Precious memories to form community together in the creative moment.

New from the recently formed Substack by George Kordis: “The Body as the Logos of Painting”. Join in and read about composition, community and the unity of form (see link in our bio) in THE LIVING LINE, paired with access to a 5-minute video of Kordis drawing a large icon of St. John the Forerunner. 🌿
