Balanced

85 x 200cm acrylic and metallic gold paint on canvas.

'Balanced' by George Hall.

I drew inspiration from the symbolism of gold. Gold was more than a material; it signified abundance, mental balance, and vitality. It nurtured learning, self-discovery, and brought success, happiness, and power. It infused life with comfort, kindness, and wonder, fostering a deeper connection with nature and people.

I found freedom in liberally incorporating gold into my work, echoing the message of 'Balanced'—that gold represented not just wealth, but inner and outer harmony.

I live and work in the seaside town of Port Kembla on the coast of New South Wales, Australia. My acrylic and mixed-media paintings are held in private and public collections around the world.

My background includes formal training in figurative art and three decades in international textile and fashion design. These days, I work in my studio seven days a week, exploring the balance between structure and spontaneity and often allowing unexpected marks to guide a painting’s direction.

I draw inspiration from Australia’s natural and urban environments, the colours of my homeland, New Zealand, and my childhood in Fiji. Through my paintings, I explore energy, calm and a sense of play.

A signature feature of my work is a background of printed positive words arranged in a newspaper-like style. These bring texture and messages of hope and optimism to many of my paintings. For other works, I begin with dyed natural canvas, creating depth beneath the painted surface.

From these foundations, I build layers of acrylics, collage and glazes using brushes, sponges and rough-textured towels.

My signature collections include the FUNK, Nature’s Dance, Optimist Heart, Silent Paradise, News and Gradual series.
