The Optimist Story (My Story):

At the beginning of 2019 I was going through a
really sad time, I was being to lose hope in the world and hence becoming easily annoyed and angry.

I decided I didn’t want to be this way, so I did what I always do and that is to start drawing what I
wanted life to look like. The reoccurring theme seemed to be love and optimism. So I kept drawing hearts, I think I must of drawn hundreds, all over magazines and newspapers they kept developing and growing and I began to really start loving them and the process. I loved the effect of the background newsprint, but sometimes the words were wrong.

So I research words of positivity and hope. I went through all the google searches and just kept adding to the list. I stopped watching and reading the news, I decided to create my own newspaper with these words. I wanted my heart to go onto words of love and hope. So I printed collages of these great words and started painting my multi-coloured hearts on top.

I noticed that people started smiling at me in the street and I wondered why, then I realise it was because I was walking round smiling, my mode had changed.

More people started contacting me and wanting paintings. I posted the hearts on my Instagram and I got so many orders for these hearts. I call them ‘The Optimist’ because that is was what I had become.

All art by George Hall

'Nullarbor Road' is a very detailed artwork with colour crossing over one another to create effect. An artwork to express how nature is free to do whatever it wants, without expectations. This work is specific to the colours of outback Australia and how they intertwine creating a dance of their own. It is not intended to be too literal and so allows you to see whatever you can find.

Accentuated with strokes of metallic gold paint, the artwork introduces a touch of opulence. Gold, renowned for its connotations of abundance, mental equilibrium, and vitality, is intended to bestow a sense of success and happiness upon the observer. The incorporation of gold seeks to infuse comfort, kindness, and a hint of elegance into the viewer's life, establishing a deeper connection with the natural world. The liberal application of gold throughout the piece contributes to an overall atmosphere of liberation and unrestricted expression.
