Based in London

George Richardson is a 25 year old artist from Cheltenham, UK.

With a critical eye towards British culture, Richardson investigates the slippages between reality and fiction in ‘everyday’ life.

As our society becomes increasingly preoccupied with the digital world, with more and more wipe clean surfaces and coffee subscriptions, Richardson examines nostalgia, identity politics and human mortality.

In his paintings and sculptures, he often warps the scale and makes alternations to objects that exist in exist in the cross generational consciousnesses, such as playing cards and snooker cues. Through these alterations and distortions of familiar objects, Richardson attempts to capture the lived experience, particularly relating to life in Britain, in these strange and volatile times.
