Biography

Dymock thinks of her practice as a form of contemporary allegorical world-building, where symbolic motifs, constructed environments, and psychologically entangled figures come together to create open-ended emotional narratives.

Georgia Dymock's practice explores intimacy, desire, and identity through allegorical figuration. Her paintings combine digitally mediated imagery with the material language of oil paint, using symbolic environments and staged bodily encounters to explore contemporary experiences of affection, alienation, and emotional performance. Drawing on contemporary visual culture alongside historical traditions of emblematic and devotional painting, Dymock’s work investigates the ever-evolving boundaries between self and other. She draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, from the metaphorical language of Renaissance and Baroque painting to the psychological distortions of Surrealism and the seductive artificiality of contemporary visual culture. ​

 

Using imagination and symbolism, the artist creates paintings that occupy a space between dream and psychological fiction. Through staged encounters between paired figures, she constructs emotionally charged scenes in which tenderness and unease, familiarity and possession, coexist. Her subjects often appear suspended within artificial, candy-coloured environments. These settings function as contemporary allegorical spaces, where relationships unfold through ambiguous bodily gestures and shifting power dynamics.

 

Dymock holds an MFA in Fine Art Painting from Slade School of Fine Art (2023), a GradD from the Chelsea College of Art (2020), and a Bsc in Anthropology from UCL (2019). Dymock won the 2023 Cass Art Prize, has been selected as one of the 2024 Bloomberg New Contemporaries, and Ingram Prize finalists 2024, winning the ACS Studio Prize in 2025. Her work features in international private collections as well as in the institutional collection of the Museum Inima de Paula, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
