A R T I S T F E A T U R E V I N C E N T G E O R G E ’ S G I L D E D F O R E S T S “Mankind”, says Vincent George, “is defined by our creativity, our curiosity and our need to share what we think and what we feel. We’re all artists in that sense.” To this end he has spent much of his life exploring the artistic possibilities of his surroundings with inquisitive eyes and an open mind. His subject matter is diverse, embracing cities, trees, animals, figures and the surreal, but his most recent series, ‘Gilded Forest’ has a special place in his heart. This exquisite collection has been created on Mylar with oil paints overlaid with silver, copper and gold leaf, highlighted with striking flecks of variegated leafing. Each of these serene and exquisite images are infused with memories of his upbringing in the lush landscape of New York State where Vincent grew up. Regardless of where he has lived or what he was doing at the time, Vincent has always returned to these visual memories through his art. For him, transferring the gorgeous scenes in his head onto canvas or paper is not merely a means to make a living. It is an extension of himself; an intricate and completely necessary process that he could not do without, and the imagery has a power and intensity that reflects this personal quest. Vincent’s work is collected by many prominent figures in the art world. He is a major presence at key art fairs and has exhibited at Hampton Classic Horse Show. His work makes an exciting and beautiful addition to our portfolio. THE GILDED FOREST II , Original Painting on Box Board 30” x 60” 40 ARTIST FEATURE VINCENT GEORGE
