George Richardson (b. 1998) lives and works in London. He completed his MFA at the Slade School of Fine Art in 2023, becoming an 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 practice is a continual questioning and re-imagining of the world around us. Working mainly with wood and casting, Richardson bends, exaggerates and changes the material or form of an object. His 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.
