Artist Statement

Georgia Tunesi is a figurative painter that works from her home studio in Bournemouth, UK. She graduated from the Arts University Bournemouth with a BA(HONS) in Illustration and also has a Foundation Art Degree specialising in Fine Art.

Her work explores elements of emotion, intimacy and relationships, be that with another person, ourselves, and even with the natural world. She captures feelings of restlessness, self-reflection, anxiety, love, passion, and many more very human and very intimate feelings. Her work reflects these by using a variety of mark making; bold charcoal and oil pastel scribbles, thick acrylic brush strokes and tender, thoughtful details using oil paint.

“As a figurative painter, Georgia Tunesi is sensitively attuned to how the body moves and thinks in space. Her work deeply expresses this commitment, with subjects rendered in all their inconsistencies, bodily habits, and personalities. Layered and blurred elements set up a narrative path, whilst a muted colour palette of browns, pinks and teals almost resembles washed up sea-glass. And if her figure’s eyes also seemed glazed over, this is always a ruse. Never vacant, Tunesi hints at an anxiety always at risk of bubbling over the surface. We are perhaps reminded of a famous saying: “Wherever you go, there you are”, as Tunesi’s loose brushwork brings her restless and introspective subjects to life”
