You wouldn’t normally think of paintings as seasonal, but Georg Wilson’s wonderfully weird, folklore-inspired canvases change with the leaves, her palette shifting in line with the turning of the year – which makes sense, since one of her central concerns is ecology. She explores this, and history, through the lens of personal experience as well as English folklore. Grappling with the historical painterly narrative of her native land, she tells strange stories of an imagined landscape populated with non-gendered (slightly humanoid, moderately hairy)‘creatures’, outside our imposed human hierarchy.
