Introduction
George Rouy

"THE PAINTINGS ARE ALWAYS CHANGING AND MORPHING, WHICH IS SUBCONSCIOUS” HE EXPLAINS. “AND I TRY TO KEEP THIS SUBCONSCIOUS AND INTUITIVE ELEMENT AS A SACRED PART THAT I DON’T TRY TO ANALYSE OR THINK ABOUT TOO MUCH. I LIKE THAT INTUITION IS ESSENTIAL YET VAGUE AND NOT EASILY DEFINED.”

 

- HUNGER MAGAZINE, AUGUST 2022

George Rouy (b. 1994 in Sittingbourne, UK) is best known for his contorting figures that provoke the canvas boundary. His sensual paintings have a hazy, dream-like quality, that layer textures and shades of paint to depict ambivalent nude figures, genderless and unbounded, which blend classical posture and the silhouettes of clubbers. Rouy’s figures seemingly float, enclosed by opaque spaces that waver between darkness and light, an examination of contemporary crucibles of gender, fiction and technology.
