Georgia Arnold is an artist and arts educator based in Tāmaki Makaurau. She works intuitively across a range of mediums including drawings, ceramics, painting and sculpture. She situates her rambling practice in the field of expanded drawing. Her work investigates the messy potential of autobiography and explores the playful tension between depicting imagery and the range of expressive mark making her materials offer.
Arnold employs surrealist techniques of automatism and mind-wandering to 'carve out' imagery that explores memories, ambiguous figure / field relationships, networks and plant and human entanglements. Experimenting with turning up or down her conscious control while drawing, she makes space for impulses of the subconscious and that of her materials. She sees her practice as a way to connect herself and the world, creating work that is both diaristic and imaginative.
Georgia Arnold completed her Master in Fine Arts at Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland in 2023 and has exhibited work as a solo exhibition at Papakura Art Gallery and as part of group presentations at Franklin Art Gallery and The Arts House Trust Gallery.
This will be her first solo exhibition with Melanie Roger Gallery.
