DESCRIPTION

Oil and mixed media | 2018

Inspired by a fascination and a lack of understanding with the functionality and inner workings of her own body, Elrod explores the internal, and translates it into abstract works that reflect references to landscapes and romantic architecture. The idea of going beneath the skin is meant to carry many meanings and ask questions around the “universal” experience of living in a body.

About Georgia Elrod

Georgia Elrod is a Brooklyn based painter and mixed media artist. Using the physical form in identifiable and abstract ways, Elrod looks inward at the body as a temporary architecture composed of ideas. Her animated use of color and fluidity contemplates individual physicality in relation to the world around us - where they mesh, and how they interact. Elrod received her MFA in painting from Hunter College and is an independent curator as well as a member of the artist-run gallery, Underdonk, in Brooklyn. She has exhibited work throughout the US and in Istanbul, Turkey.

STATEMENT

"Stemming from observation and memory, the imagery in my work is initially cultivated through many gouache and mixed media works on paper. The forms are often unpredictable, and their meanings open-ended. I make many works on paper, and some of these become paintings. In that process I am translating subconscious imagery into paintings that becomes most potent when they are unexplainable. I usually start with some kind of image in my mind and the work unfolds as I go. When I surprise myself I feel I may have created a successful piece.

My recent work began with a desire to interpret bodily function and experience, to question and understand our ungraspable insides. Positing physical identity as a kind of living abstraction, the imagery can be both known and unidentifiable.

By letting go of anatomical rules, the works are more like poetic spaces. I’m interested in suggestive imagery and the simultaneity of forms. Through painting, expectations of functionality and fragility literally become marks, colors, drawings. Internal and external landscapes become abstracted through the process of thought and visualization." - Georgia Elrod
