George Squires, b. Sydney 1998, is an artist working primarily in sculpture. Responding intuitively to the possibilities for play and change in everyday objects, Squires filters common forms through transformations of material and scale. Using readily available goods, Squires stages a game in which frank materiality and representation coexist in a state of poetic reciprocity.
Squires holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from the National Art School (2024), where he was awarded the Dr John Vallance Prize for Sculpture (2021), and the Knulp Exhibition Prize (2022). Solo and duo exhibitions include a jar, a jam (2026), Solvent, Sydney; and BAM with Anthea Duffy (2024), Mega, Sydney. Recent group exhibitions include Substack (2026), curated by Harry de Vries, Paiza, Sydney; Lost Technique (2024), Mori, Sydney; Composed of Remains (2023), Knulp, Sydney. Squires was the curator of Hearth (2024), Schmick Contemporary, Sydney. In 2025 he was guest artist-in-residence at Stonevilla Studios, Sydney. Squires is the founding co-director of the artist-run initiative, Mega, Sydney.
