Rabbit Proof Fence is presented with a sophisticated tone laced with playful subversion. In colonial history the Rabbit-Proof Fence was a harsh boundary; in George’s hands it becomes a stage for resiliance and joy. The fence stretches across each scene as a strong horizontal motif, but rather than dividing, it gathers life. Cheeky dingoes (a recurring motif from the artist’s youth) sitting near the fence, while curious rabbits and emus join the assembly. Each animal-character is rendered in meticulous dot and line work, and each portrait captures a spark of personality… they are survivors and stories unto themselves. The mischief in their expressions underscores a subtle message of resistance: joy and humor in the face of adversity. The desert palette and texture of these paintings subtly reference the ochre soils and fence timbers of George’s home country, grounding the series in place. This series holds strong appeal for collectors: it marries rich cultural narrative with contemporary wit. The exclusivity of Rabbit Proof Fence is underlined by its limited availability through Wentworth And Manyung Galleries; interested buyers are encouraged to enquire directly to experience the layered meanings and craftsmanship of each piece.
