Artist's Profile
Georgie Gall grew up in an artistic family in the Victorian city of Geelong ‘the City by the Bay’ and the gateway to the Great Ocean Road.
After moving to Sydney in 2000, Georgie undertook various short art courses which furthered her passion for painting. In July 2003, she wound up a 13-year corporate career to successfully pursue her painting full-time. Georgie’s experimentation with a range of mixed media, including acrylics, oils, watercolours, inks and glazes create a unique and rich collection of original artwork that are highly sought after.
Georgie explores the vast Australian landscape in an original, textual and contemporary way. It is her passion for the Australian countryside that Georgie thinks about and attempts to infuse in her abstract paintings as she builds/subtracts layer upon layer of paint and medium. Her cool misty silver birch textual forests contrast with her organic wheatfields. Her textual sea grasses contrast with the red ochres of the northern territory waterholes. Birdlife is in abundance in her smoky green vistas depicting the typical Australian wetlands. The birds for example, work as Australian icons and provide movement and perspective.
Apart from being represented in many Australian private and corporate collections, Georgie’s work can also be found in Singapore and the U.S.A.
 Feeding time
Riverbank Landscapes
Rural, outback landscapes which highlight the changing colours in soil layers as well as the congregation of birds, insect life where there is water. The eroding riverbank is depicted by textural movements which flow down the painting.
 Fence Line
Wheat Landscapes
Rich in colour and texture, the wheat landscapes are imprinted on Australians as we drive past the numerous fields of wheat crops. The paintings highlight the cloud movement and there is a suggestion of wind blowing grasses in the foreground.
 Mirage
Textural Landscapes
These paintings have a mere suggestion of the landscape they portray. Highly textural and rich in colours, they are a celebration in semi-abstractness and lead the viewer on a different journey everytime.
 Silver Birches along the River
Silver Birches
Peaceful scenes depicting silver birches along riverbanks, across lakes and into the forest. The highlight is the textural workings of the bark in the trees in the foreground.
