George Rouy

Born in Sittingbourne, Kent in 1994, George Rouy studied Fine Art at Camberwell College of Arts, graduating in 2015. He now works between London and Margate. Rouy's paintings place the human body in states of flux — limbs elongate, contours blur, and figures seem to be dissolving into or emerging from each other and their environments. Working in oil, acrylic, and ink on canvas, he layers translucent washes with denser, more physical marks to build a sense of bodies caught mid-transformation. References to Mannerism, Francis Bacon, and contemporary dance inform his practice. Represented by Hauser & Wirth since 2025.
