Georgina Clapham combines the traditional media of oil paint on linen with contemporary screen-printing methods engaging with storytelling to depict the body and its accoutrements, with a focus on female sexuality and the psyche.

Her work embraces a multitude of techniques from renaissance painting to childlike gestures and silkscreen. Working from a combination of photography, imagination and memory, she is influenced by archetypal figures in history from fantasy, folklore or legends to celebrity and the lifestyles that have been mythologized by popular culture.

Her work is satirical, expressed through her British deadpan humor which enables her to freely negotiate the complexities of her own reality and daily life. This emerges as surrealistic forms, cartoonish gestures, distorted objects and anthropomorphism contrasted against realism and memetic details.

Georgina has studied at City and Guilds of London Art School, UK, The Glasgow School of Art, Scotland, and The Royal Drawing School, London, UK, before attending Otis College of Art and Design’s MAF program.
