Georgina Hooper

GEORGINA HOOPER is an Australian artist based on the Sunshine Coast. In Hooper’s work, her investigation of artistic practice and its potential to affect the painter’s intuitive mind, psychological attitude and physical body is of great importance. Georgina majored in painting in her Bachelor of Fine Art (1999). She was honoured as a research scholar and invited to study traditional Chinese landscape painting with Professor Dong Ya at the University of Tianjin, China (2010). Her ongoing academic research as a PhD candidate at the University of Queensland, which explores Chinese traditional painting through neuroscience, informs her contemporary practice in painting and NFT’s. Hooper has been an artist in residence at Toa-Bou studio in Nakaoyama (2013), Japan; Kouraku Gama, Arita Japan (2013); Sanboa Ceramic Institute (2013) and The Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, China (2013). Her work is also part of a 100 year ceiling installation in Hasami Buddhist temple, Japan (2014). Cross cultural fertilization is at the heart of Georgina Hooper’s practice. She is informed by a deep engagement with Eastern artistic traditions and visual language and the philosophies that underpin them.
