Georgia Dickie (b.1989; Toronto, Ontario) is a sculptural and mixed media artist. Her works are often made of materials and objects found within her studio. Dickie’s practice aims to challenge the function, value and aesthetic of these items by assembling them in ways that subvert their meaning or their material purpose. She often collects materials for her art from "free" piles on the side of the road without knowing how they will be used, both playing with their potential and giving value to the unwanted detritus and clutter. Dickie's art is environmentally conscious and serves to reflect upon the existing consumer culture and how we interact with material things.
Dickie earned her BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design University in 2011. She was one of the recipients of the 2020 Sobey Art Award and the 2014 recipient of the Toronto Friends of the Visual Arts Artist Prize. She has participated in solo and group exhibitions internationally including Soft Opening, London (2022), Fragment Gallery, Moscow (2021), Oakville Galleries, Oakville (2019), Rolando Anselmi, Berlin (2018), Jeffrey Stark, New York (2017), Night Gallery, Los Angeles (2017), Cooper Cole (2017), Springsteen Gallery, Baltimore (2016), Art Museum of U of T, Toronto (2016), The Power Plant, Toronto (2013), and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto (2012). In February 2015, she was the Canada Council for the Arts artist in residence at Acme Studios in London, UK. Dickie currently lives and works in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
