George Flynn’s practice explores the tension between familiarity and alienation within the human body. While the body is the one space we permanently inhabit, it often remains partially unknowable, complex, layered, and difficult to fully comprehend. Through painting, Flynn investigates this sense of disconnection, questioning how something so intimately ours can also feel distant and unfamiliar.

Drawing on anatomical studies and medical textbook imagery as primary references, Flynn focuses on the
internal structures of the body, muscle, bone, and connective systems. These sources, typically associated with
clinical objectivity and scientific clarity, are reinterpreted through an expressive, painterly approach. By fragmenting and abstracting these forms, he disrupts their original function as purely informative diagrams, instead presenting them as ambiguous and emotionally charged compositions.
