George’s work falls somewhere in between Comedy and Tragedy, emotionally raw and uncomfortably honest. Painting acts as an outlet of expression, a coping strategy and a way to define his own uniqueness. It provides him with an opportunity to share his personal experiences of life with the viewer. Unfiltered text is painted and/or used as the work's title. This text exposes his most intimate experiences and thoughts and acts as if it were a secret diary – which most people would want hidden from the world. Yet George bares all to let people know, so that they can understand him and his situation.
​
To find a common thread in George’s work would go against its very nature, it’s as random and sporadic and almost as pointless as he feels he is, but it has a charm about it. It’s ironic and very sarcastic but at the same time extremely serious.
​
George's work asks “why?”, and questions our values, and our actions and thoughts. What can be painted? Can I like this? These questions are not only concerned with the materiality of his work, but in regard to life itself. He searches desperately for a reason to carry on painting but also a reason to carry on living.
