OPENING EVENT: Wednesday 5 November, 5.30-7.30pmEXHIBITION: 5 - 29 November 2025
Georgia Arnold is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau. She works intuitively across a range of mediums including drawings, ceramics, painting, metalwork and sculpture. She situates her rambling practice in the field of expanded drawing. Her work investigates the messy potential of autobiography and explores the playful tension between depicting imagery and the range of expressive mark making her materials offer.
Arnold employs surrealist techniques of automatism and mind-wandering to 'carve out' imagery that explores memories, ambiguous figure / field relationships, networks and plant and human entanglements. Experimenting with turning up or down her conscious control while drawing, she makes space for impulses of the subconscious and that of her materials. She sees her practice as a way to connect herself and the world, creating work that is both diaristic and imaginative.
Georgia Arnold completed her Master in Fine Arts at Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland in 2023. Her recent projects and solo exhibitions include "What ever will grow" (Mural Commission for South British Insurance Company Ltd Building Art Project, 2024) "Diamond - Circle - Rectangle" (Corban Estate Arts Centre, 2024) and "Dizziness & Drawing Breath" (Papakura Art Gallery, 2024). Arnold has also shown as part of group presentations including "Secret Life of Plants" (Melanie Roger Gallery, 2024), "Luff" (The Arts House Trust, 2023), "The wonder of small things" (Franklin Art Gallery, 2023) and "Screaming Waterfall" (Jhana Millers Gallery, 2022).
This is her first solo exhibition with Melanie Roger Gallery.
