Georgia Elrod is an artist based in the Hudson Valley and New York City. Her work posits physicality as a kind of living abstraction and poetic space, presenting bodily forms that can be both known and unidentifiable. Elrod begins with many ink and gouache works on paper to cultivate imagery into larger mixed media oil paintings. The works express fleeting moments in time within and between bodies, their narratives often embedded with autobiographical meaning.
Georgia Elrod's work has been exhibited in New York and abroad, in solo exhibitions at Peninsula Art Space and Novella, as well as in group exhibitions at spaces including Momenta Art, The Painting Center, and RH+ Gallery in Istanbul. Her work has been featured in Two Coats of Paint, ArtMaze Magazine, Big Bell Magazine, and New American Paintings. Georgia was a co-director of the artist-run gallery Underdonk for almost ten years, and co-curated with Heliopolis Gallery from 2012-2015. Georgia co-founded That Time of the Month, a monthly studio visit group for women and non-binary artists. She received her MFA in Painting from Hunter College.
