George Richardson

George Richardson (b. 1998) lives and works in London. He completed his MFA at the Slade School of Fine Art in 2023, becoming artist in residence at Sarabande Foundation for which he received the Sarabande Emerging Artist Grant (2023-2024). He has recently been re-awarded the Sarabande Foundation Artist Residency for 2024-2025. Richardson’s work was included in a duo show at Flexitron Gallery, London, in collaboration with Pipeline, London (2023). His work has been included in a number of group shows, including The Hari Art Prize, London (2024); Hypha Studios, London (2024); Sarabande Foundation, London (2024); Alice Black Gallery, London (2024); OHSH Projects, London (2024); Max Radford Gallery, London (2023); Crypt Gallery, London (2023); ACME Glassyard, London (2023); UCL Museum, London (2023); Lethaby Gallery, London (2021).

Working mainly with wood and metal casting, Richardson bends, exaggerates and changes the material or form of an object. Richardson’s access to global symbols of the home and public space is steadfastly personal. By presenting familiar objects altered to distance them from their cultural and personal reference points, Richardson's transformations capture the liminal spaces inhabited by the body.
