GEORGE WEAIT. BRITISH. B. LONDON 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.

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 collectors both here and internationally.

“The importance of this exhibition stems from my love for the many people that I meet. My aim is to bring others into the way that I see the world. The over-sized portraits of the individuals here, is my attempt to show their hidden characteristics, developing on their emotions and personal creativity as much as their outer appearance through my expression of symbols, directions and colour.

I also take specific elements of my own life and create mirrored experience in the art that I perceive in my mind and subsequently release onto the canvas...”
