George Weait British, b. 2000

To watch George Weait create art is to observe a flow of energy, not from, but rather through his body. An energy which emits in an invisible arc of electricity through hand, brush, oil stick, pastel and paint onto the medium of choice, whether that be canvas, paper, card or other. The resultant pieces are bursting with life, brilliance and the defining moments of their creation. George Weait’s key ability is to take realized experience and capture it in an array of colour and movement which seems to dance in front of the eyes of the viewer, never letting up, with new elements to discover each time the work is observed afresh. This is what makes his art so extraordinary. Neither contrived, nor conceptualized, the pieces are composed like visual music, allowing the digested experience of everyday laughter, dance and social observation pour into a palette of vibrancy and colour, representing dimensions of radiance which coalesce into a wonderful narrative or portrait in joyful harmony. George was born and raised in South East London, where he continues to live, creating consistently at his current art studio in Peckham. A natural creative flair visible from an early age, his education culminated in attending Kingston School of Art, graduating with a first class honours in June 2021.

In the last three years, George Weait’s extraordinary art has caught the eye of many and after a commercially successful showing at the Los Angeles Contemporary Art Show in July 2021, following his initial show at London’s Oxo Tower in June of the same year, George has continued to garner much interest with many sales from notable art collectors both here in the UK and internationally.

In July 2023 Amber Galleries, Henley on Thames, Oxfordshire, exhibited George’s debut UK solo show; ‘Talking Heads’. Most of the canvases for this show were painted in the British artist John Piper’s ex-studio. The show was a resolut commercial success and with many subsequent sales over the last 12 months, it has cemented George as a notable emerging contemporary British artist.
