Sumer is pleased to present Venus Marina / The Roses Came Roaring, an exhibition of new work by Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland-based artist Georgie Hill.

Well known for her distinctive painting that bridges the atmospheric and psychedelic, Georgie Hill’s work combines gestural mark making in paint, with hard geometries, of appliqué-like collage elements, and the artist’s “carved” linework that excoriates and divides the work surface.

This latest body of work represents a recent shift in the artist’s practice. Whereas previously Hill has worked exclusively on paper, in watercolour and collage, here she exhibits larger works produced in acrylic on canvas as well.
