10 Rising British Artists to Watch at This Year’s “New Contemporaries”

Bella Bonner-Evans, Artsy, January 26, 2024

A recent graduate of the Royal College of Art, Georg Wilson creates whimsical renderings of rural bliss, which have garnered her significant attention. Currently represented by Berntson Bhattacharjee, she has mounted a solo exhibition with the gallery in London, alongside presentations with Palazzo Monti in Italy, Kravets Wehby Gallery in New York and Arusha Gallery in Bruton, England.

 

The Ingram Prize–nominated artist’s work has also featured in group shows in London at LAMBMarlborough London, Hannah Barry Gallery, and Soho Revue, and internationally at Philip Martin Gallery in Los Angeles and 1969 Gallery in New York. Wilson also has a current solo exhibition with Public Service Gallery in Stockholm.

 

In her practice, the British landscape is reimagined through renderings of fictional events and fantastic terrains, often populated by bulbous, untamed creatures. By giving form to a world where benevolent beasts convene merrily with their surroundings, Wilson aims to ignite a renewed enchantment with the natural world.
