Artworks available to view in Sydney

Georgie Gall grew up in an artistic family in the Victorian city of Geelong. After moving to Sydney in 2000, Georgie Gall studied fine arts at night and furthered her passion for painting. In July 2003 she wound up a 13-year corporate career to pursue her artistic passion successfully, on a commercial basis. Georgie works in watercolours, acrylics, inks and oil glazes to create vibrant contemporary landscapes. Following highly successful shows at Art Sydney and Art Melbourne, her commissioned paintings are in high demand.

Georgie Gall's depictions of the Australian landscape are rich in colour and texture. Her paintings possess a dream-like quality through the use of soft impressionistic light reminiscent of William Turner's watercolour landscape views. In particular, Gall's use of colour, combined with a unique textural approach, conveys a simple and honest account of various natural settings.

A consistent theme throughout Gall's work is the sense of change and movement apparent within nature and the demonstration of a rapid transformation of the Australian landscape. Gall grew up in the small country town of Geelong in Victoria. She has vivid childhood memories of joyful holidays spent with family and friends camping by the seaside and living on farms owned by close friends and relatives. A favourite location was Lake Connewarre outside of Geelong. Her memories of this lake provided inspiration for a number of her Riverbank Landscape depictions with a congregation of bird life and the richness of the everchanging colours of soil and life cycles of the native fauna.

Some of Gall's most poignant work is the Wheatfield Landspace series. At first blush the various wheatfield scenes invoke a sense of serenity and gentleness, however Gall's depictions of fields of wheat contain a certain suspenseful quality. They are both tranquil and dramatic. The precarious nature of what it means to be an Australian farmer in uncertain climatic times is captured in the 'Wheatfields'. The pathos, the vulnerability and the deeply rooted connection, with and to, the elements are all reflected in Gall's wheatfield landscapes. Georgie Gall's identification with the earth and the seasons is striking. Her imaginative, and often innovative use, of different mediums have been skillfully applied to engage the viewer, conveying the starkness of the landscape but still reflecting all of its beauty and diversity.

Georgie Gall's ability to focus on the detail of the wider sweep of the rural scene is self-evident. She reminds us that nothing stands still and yet her work has a meditative and intimate quality which is both engaging and emotive. Georgie Gall currently resides in Sydney with her family and has enjoyed considerable success with her exhibitions in both Melbourne and Sydney.
