George Quiney is a printmaker, obsessed with the inherent loneliness of subjective experience. He is curious about how others see the world and wonders whether there is any commonality in how we encounter a landscape, an event or a colour.
Landscapes are central to his work: sometimes they are left empty, and sometimes they are the container of a story. The scenes are full of longing for moments that hold the exquisite feeling of being truly alive. Quiney's relationship with his partner is frontal in these narratives, a motif which he uses to mirror his projections and fantasies.
Quiney uses drawing to drag images from his mind onto the page, and collage to think about the role of colour in creating atmosphere and narrative. He often clarifies these initial studies through woodblock printing. The resulting images take on the wood grain, creating a surface reminiscent of well-worn t-shirts or weathered beach signs.
