Georgia Green

Georgia Green (b. 1996) received a BA in Fine Art: Painting and Printmaking from Glasgow School of Art in 2018. In 2022 Georgia was the recipient of the East London Printmakers Studio Bursary Award, allowing her to settle her practice more permanently within East London’s creative community. Georgia’s editions have been selected for renowned exhibitions including the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and a selection of Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers events including their annual Small But Mighty and IOPE exhibitions. Highlights from her practice over the past twelve months include a month-long residency at Aga Lab in Amsterdam researching non-toxic stone lithography, and winning the Jackson’s Art Prize Planographic Printmaking Award. As a printmaker Georgia uses her art to unravel the interiors and landscapes she moves through and lives within. She dissolves and dramatises everyday rooms and corridors, questioning notions of intimacy, belonging and confinement through the glaze of domesticity. Enclosed by these scenes Georgia is drawn into the warmth of her childhood; filling empty rooms with colourful figures and animals she collects from children’s books, novels, poetry, films and dreams. In these painterly reveries memories and imagination start to overlap playfully, illuminating the chimerical tangle of curiosity and longing that prompts each artwork. Whilst she primarily uses contemporary printmaking techniques as an artist, Georgia’s knowledge of classical printmaking strongly informs her mark-making processes. She is particularly interested in the interplay between modern, mechanised forms of print production and their traditional, hands-on counterparts. For example, Georgia loves the textural similarity between stone lithography and risography. Whilst they are wildly different processes, the fine dither-dots produced by the riso stencil make a textural pattern similar to the rich grain found in litho stones. The natural translucency of riso ink also compliments the delicate potential of lithography’s liquid tusche. Georgia’s knowledge of each process assists how she interprets colour and pattern across both techniques, strengthening her capabilities in each medium. By highlighting the affinity they share, Georgia aims to bridge the divide between conventional and more accessible, contemporary printmaking techniques. Beyond her personal work Georgia has proposed and delivered creative projects for large organisations such as University of Arts London and Print Club London as well as for independent galleries, communities, charities, councils and individual clients. She has reliably budgeted and delivered large-scale mural installations, curated creative events and won a number of prizes and financial grants for her work as a professional artist.
