Jamie George
​
Jamie George is an artist based in South East London. His work spans text, publishing, exhibitions, sound, sculpture, and teaching; at its centre is an impulse to explore how things can be defined by what is missing, absent, or fallen away. This is often inherent in the work's form and the personal and cultural narratives or subjects explored. Writing is a core part of his practice, often beginning with everyday experiences. All of Jamie’s work foregrounds process-based methods using materialised techniques.
Jamie's current practice draws on his PhD research, where he explored how sculptures utilise a ‘forgetful memory’ ----- a reflexive process of positing, junking and reimagining relationships to cultural information.​
After studying Fine Art at Goldsmiths and sculpture at The Slade School of Fine Art in 2013, Jamie completed a PhD at Cambridge School of Art. Jamie has worked on projects, commissions, and exhibitions with Jerwood Visual Arts, South Kiosk, Drawing Room, SPACE Studios and Organhaus Gallery in China.
In 2012, he was awarded a Gasworks International Fellowship and was an artist-in-residence at Vasl Artist-Collective in Pakistan. In 2014, he received a Cocheme Fellowship from CSM, UAL, hosted by AIR Studios. In autumn 2021, Jamie took part in the interdisciplinary residency at Hospitalfield, Scotland. Jamie was a recipient of the Omni Colour Artist Award 2021. Lack, a solo exhibition with an accompanying publication, Lacking, was presented at SE8 Gallery, Deptford, London, in 2022. In 2024, Folium published the book Youth in Parts. The project began during a time spent in Athens, Greece, in 2019. Jamie is also a member of the musical collective Bulkwash.
