Georgia Hill (b.1988) is a multidisciplinary Australian artist based in Paris, France. Her practice moves through the international street art and contemporary art worlds, focusing on type-based, monochromatic artworks and installations. Hill’s conceptual approach has secured her position as one of Australia’s leading street artists, constantly exploring materials and surroundings in a contemporary light.
"I perceive architecture and landscapes as both physical and psychological, using my own visual language and writing to respond to changing sites and experiences. I'm constantly collecting references, photography, and notes, and manipulating these across painted canvases, installations, and fabric banner works. This documentation acts as a personal account and starting point to abstract, break down, and forge my own scenes, emphasising fragments of conversation and emotion through abstracted or exaggerated scale, type, and composition.
Rather than working towards a final aesthetic, I'm constantly responding to sites through different mediums, language, and scale, where I use spaces to inform and express moments of vulnerability, clarity, and total overwhelm. My work moves within the predetermined lines of existing structures and facades, emphasising a specific moment by cutting through the endless visual cues we take in every day. My approach embraces a constant duality, where controlled, tight lettering pushes against the ever-changing nature of shared spaces and experiences."
