'Queer Dancing' Limited Edition Giclee Print on 100cm square Canvas, Ready to hang. 2 week production time needed Ed. 1 of 10

'Queer Dancing' is part of a special, collaborative series with Bluethumb that includes 3 limited edition print runs "The Marriage Dance" "Marriage" and "Queer Dancing" As my frustration about the Marriage Equality debate and the 'survey' grew I need to do something positive so I decided to draw and paint artworks of a positive outcome and these works are the result.
We were finally successful, but we had to do a dance for this human right. This is my celebration.

Every year, Sydney's iconic Mardi Gras festival is a great time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as remember the hardships that have passed.

Unfortunately, a particularly vulnerable group in that community is the older generation. Between myself and Bluethumb, 20% of profits from any of these prints sold until the end of March will go towards Silver Rainbow, an organisation committed to caring for that group, who may have suffered from hardships particularly affecting the LGBTQIA+ community, such as the AIDS crisis and public discrimination."

George is a multi-media artist based in Sydney Australia, with paintings and mixed-media works represented in private and public collections globally.

Trained in formal figurative practices and techniques, honed over three decades in international textile and fashion design, George now paints seven days a week, loves turning mistakes into ideas, and is equally adept observing formal rules and breaking them for a reason.

His work is energetic, calming and whimsical, and reflects the semi-tropical colours of his native New Zealand, a Fijian childhood and the dazzling colours of Australian nature and urban life. He incorporates layers in mixed media, acrylics, collage and glazes, applied with brushes, sponges and rough-textured towels and sometimes dyeing natural canvas first to create background and depth.

George’s art is fluid and uplifting, with signature collections including The Funk, Freehand, Optimist Heart, Silent Paradise, News, and the Gradual series.
