George Rouy

The definitive publication on British artist George Rouy, whose mesmerizing paintings of the human body in flux have established him as one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary art.

Over the last ten years, George Rouy has gained international acclaim for bold and subversive paintings featuring human figures caught in a state of perpetual becoming. Bodies appear alone, in pairs, or imprisoned in amorphous crowds, creating rhapsodic portraits of identity in a globalized, technologically driven 21st Century. This new monograph provides a detailed account of Rouy’s practice, featuring insightful texts alongside a wealth of artwork images, installation views, and studio photography. George Rouy captures one of the most important young artists working today at a pivotal moment in his career.
