GEORG WILSON

Early Years

Georg Wilson was born in London in 1998. She gained her BA in history of art at the University of Oxford, graduating in 2020. She studied for her MA in painting at the Royal College of Art in London, graduating in 2022. During this period, she co-founded (with Jack Chauncy) All Mouth Gallery, an online enterprise creating an environment for “slow viewing” of contemporary art, showcasing one artist every seven days (based on the National Gallery’s practice in the Blitz during the Second World War, when one painting would be shown per week).

Georg Wilson: Artworks

Georg Wilson’s paintings are influenced by history and ecology, as she says herself “directed by the cyclical change of the English seasons”. Her practice rails against the traditional idea of “landscape painting”, moving away from the idea of images of fields and hills commissioned by landowners and into a realm where nature sets the agenda.

• In 2025’s Dawn Place the sun rises, reminiscent of a slice of lemon against a green-yellow sky, illuminating a mound beneath. It’s a small oil-on-panel work that radiates light and glow.
• Vespertine (Thorn Apple) (2025) again depicts a glowing object—this time the moon, rendered in lilacs and browns, illuminating a hollow at twilight where a thorn apple grows. But we are also allowed to see what’s happening below ground. “I wanted this twilight palette to also suggest a hidden realm,” she said.
• The oil painting Green to My Eyes, Green to My Heart (2025) focuses on one of Wilson’s semi-human figures, arm bent over the head, finger in ear and armpit on display. Tendril curls of hair are reminiscent of the fronds of the plant to the left of the composition; a green, yellow and peach colour palette pops against a very dark background.
