George Richardson
George Richardson is an artist with an MFA in Sculpture from The Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, and is a Sarabande artist-in-residence.
Richardson’s sculpture and painting practice is a continual process of ‘making sense of.’ Working mainly with wood and metal casting, Richardson bends, exaggerates, and changes the material or form of an object. His access to global symbols of the home and public space is steadfastly personal. Steam-bent snooker cues, extended picture frames, and lucky sevens jest warmly and gesture openly, inviting a deeper resonance to be plucked within their audience.
By presenting familiar objects altered to distance them from their cultural and personal reference points, Richardson’s transformations capture the liminal spaces inhabited by the body through the material objects held in nostalgic muscle memory.
