In this series of paintings, George draws on the cinematic concept of the establishing shot,“the frame in a film that introduces a new scene and puts the upcoming action into a context. The small pieces set the scene, then open-up into the larger image whose scale and action involve the viewers , inviting them into the painting.” George chooses images that are at once playful and complex, images more often associated with comics, action movies or sci-fi book covers, and imbues them with the grace and sophistication of the 16th-17th century Italian masters he admires- Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Annibale Carracci. His glimmering colors, layering of collage materials (cloth, paper, wallpaper) and strong painterly effects create works that are both sophisticated and theatrical.
