Georgia Arnold is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), Aotearoa New Zealand, whose practice spans painting, drawing, ceramics, metalwork, sculpture, and expanded drawing. Recognised as one of the most exciting young artists in Aotearoa, her work investigates the interplay between expressive mark-making, autobiography, memory, and spatial relationships, often navigating the tension between conscious control and intuitive impulses. She employs techniques such as automatism and mind‑wandering to carve out imagery that explores networks, plant and human entanglements, and fragments of imagined worlds.

Arnold completed her Master of Fine Arts at Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland in 2023, following a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours in 2019. During her postgraduate studies, she received the Joe Raynes Scholarship for Drawing, Painting, and Design, supporting her research-driven projects and installation work.

Her exhibitions are notable not only for the works themselves but also for the unique way she presents and frames them. Arnold often experiments with unconventional hanging systems, layering, and spatial arrangements that extend the logic of the work into the gallery environment. This approach challenges traditional viewing conventions, emphasizing the relational dynamics between individual pieces, the surrounding space, and the viewer’s movement. Works may be stacked, suspended, or positioned to create immersive visual fields, encouraging slow looking and engagement with the rhythm and gesture of her mark-making.

She has exhibited widely across Aotearoa in solo and group exhibitions. Key projects include Retreat at Melanie Roger Gallery (2025); the mural What ever will grow for the South British Insurance Company Ltd Building Art Project (2024); Diamond – Circle – Rectangle at Corban Estate Arts Centre (2024); and Dizziness & Drawing Breath at Papakura Art Gallery (2024). Group exhibitions include The Secret Life of Plants at Melanie Roger Gallery (2024), Luff at The Arts House Trust (2023), The wonder of small things at Franklin Art Gallery (2023), and Screaming Waterfall at Jhana Millers Gallery (2022).

Arnold has also participated in notable residencies, including the Driving Creek Residency, which contributed to her exploration of material, spatial experimentation, and immersive installation approaches.  Her practice extends to public engagement through murals and community-focused projects. Across her work, Georgia Arnold is recognised for her curious and intuitive approach, producing art that is both diaristic and expansively imaginative, with presentation strategies that invite viewers to move, linger, and experience the full depth of her imaginative worlds.
