England.

b.1981.

GEORGE YOUNG collects, edits, reproduces and assembles images of cultural artifacts, ephemera and literary fiction. The paintings are simplified and estranged from their previous contexts and coupled with precise, formal structures that extend and respond to the painting environment.

The works are on paper, unframed and are fragile, fragmentary; they’re surface vs. object and seem to be interchangeable and readily moved – a constant revolving until the moment of exhibition.  The wooden structures are dislocated supports or framing devices.  Without their conventional use, they are placed around a space performing new functions or remaining idle.

Each exhibition is a chance to rearrange themes and images to suit each specific space. New arrangements change the context of each painting, the resulting narrative -and our understanding of it- highlighting the malleability of images as meaning makers.
