The first time I saw a painting by Georgia Fiennes I was left speechless. Not in a well-blow-me-down-that's-just-amazing kind of way but more like I'm-looking-at-a-painting-of-a-bull-in-heels-and-I-like-it-is-there-something-wrong-with-me? kind of way. Each of her paintings features an animal in anything but its natural habitat: a giraffe in a teacup; a pig in heels; a cow with peirced ears. The weirdness goes on.
But there's something about Georgia's paintings that makes them very difficult to dismiss as silly or childish. Her paintings are absurd but they're also really good. And really, it's about time someone put humour back into art; Georgia is the brave woman doing it so kudos to her for that!
