WILL GEORGE Will George was raised along the historic North Shore in Boston, where, in the late 1960s, he attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. He studied painting under the hand of T. Lux Feininger, son of the great German Expressionist, Lionel Feininger. George has since created a unique collection of paintings with an underlying common thread: reflection. He is well known for his celebration of unique spaces that we would otherwise consider commonplace. His use of light and composition makes these spaces dance on the canvas and allows us to look again with a certain reminiscence. Where the presence of the human form can sometimes dictate the mood or tenor of a painting, he chooses to leave the scene void of figures to enable observers to imagine themselves in the vignette, to oblige their own narrative. Whether it’s a restaurant, train station or diner, the play of interior and exterior light are key components of his work. The intent is to reveal the unseen, to feel the air, to experience the blistering heat through the window of a desert café in contrast to the cool sanctuary within. It’s George’s love of the ocean that leads to the literal works of reflection both above and below the water’s surface. The way light reflects and refracts creates an interesting conversation about how we’re all essentially energy. The figures in his “Water Club Series” react as one with the water expanding the human body and filtering it into abstract reflection.
