Artwork Description

Toorak Summer By George Hall. Mixed media on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

'Toorak Summer' 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 the Australian Bush 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.

Artist Bio

George is a multi-media artist based in Sydney Australia, with paintings and mixed-media works represented in private and public collections globally.

Trained in formal figurative practices and techniques, honed over three decades in international textile and fashion design, George now paints seven days a week, loves turning mistakes into ideas, and is equally adept observing formal rules and breaking them for a reason.

His work is energetic, calming and whimsical, and reflects the semi-tropical colours of his native New Zealand, a Fijian childhood and the dazzling colours of Australian nature and urban life. He incorporates layers in mixed media, acrylics, collage and glazes, applied with brushes, sponges and rough-textured towels and sometimes dyeing natural canvas first to create background and depth.

George’s art is fluid and uplifting, with signature collections including The Funk, Freehand, Optimist Heart, Silent Paradise, News, and the Gradual series.
