George Wilkin

George Wilkin works primarily in large-format oil paintings, exploring the tension between the finality of form and its continual undoing in motion. Whether addressing physical forms or ideas that have achieved cultural fixity, the work investigates the point at which structures dissolve and suggest new possibilities—a space between the known and the yet-to-be- discovered. 

George aims to bring the tradition of oil painting into a contemporary context, examining how technology shapes the way we consume imagery and information. They engage with the visual languages emerging from social media, filtered images, and changing aspect ratios, applying these cues to the canvas to explore new narrative and compositional forms.

George’s practice employs brushwork and visual cropping to retain abstraction, fostering a dynamic interplay between certainty and doubt, interpretation and openness. Their work navigates the boundary between structure and disruption, encouraging viewers to encounter familiar forms in unfamiliar ways.
