Georgia Hill (b.1988) is a multidisciplinary Australian artist, based in Paris, France. Her practice moves through the international street art and contemporary art worlds, focusing on type-based, monochromatic artworks and installations. 

"I perceive architecture and landscapes as both physical and psychological, using my own visual language and writing to respond to changing sites and experiences. I'm constantly collecting references, photography and notes, and manipulating these across painted canvases, installations and fabric banner works. This documentation acts as a personal account and starting point to abstract, break down and forge my own scenes, emphasising fragments of conversation and emotion through abstracted or exaggerated scale, type and composition. 

Rather than working towards a final aesthetic, I'm constantly responding to sites through different mediums, language, and scale, where I use spaces to inform and express moments of vulnerability, clarity and total overwhelm. My work moves within the predetermined lines of existing structures and facades, as monochromatic pieces emphasise a specific moment by cutting through the endless visual cues we take in every day. This approach embraces a constant duality, where controlled, tight lettering pushes against the always changing nature of shared spaces and experiences". 

Hill has proved herself to be one of Australia’s leading street artists with a contemporary and conscious touch to her materials, surrounds and conceptual approach, working throughout Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, India, Japan, Jordan, Iceland, Canada, and The United States.
