George E Huffman

Born 1966, Norristown, Pennsylvania. Currently lives in Austin, Texas. In my latest painting series, I have been exploring the juxtaposition of the landscape and the young girl to produce an unsettling feeling. The figure of the young girl suggests liminality; she acts as and within a borderlands region. Her youth is a betwixt and between state, associated with aspects of actuation. She is a figure that is simultaneously emblematic of anxieties about passing time and a vehicle of hope for the future. Both the figure and the highly textured panoramic landscape express motifs of nature and fragility. My paintings speak to the fluidity of gender identity, the burden of self-awareness in an unfeeling world, the process of maturation, and ultimately personal empowerment.
