Lives and works in London

Georgia Semple’s work centres on fascinations with the duality of
perception and reality. Exploring themes of identity, faith, addiction and
connection; her paintings depict imagined scenes of black communities inspired by misunderstood personal experiences. Her practice emerged from exploration of her Guyanese heritage, studying the ancient rock carvings correlation to black and indigenous behaviours. Interested in how we dress scenes in our life with our perspectives even in unassuming places; her work unravels the chaos in vulnerability, warping context and scale in surreal contexts to symbolise delusions from attachment to personal ideology.
