George J. Harding is a multidisciplinary, neurodiverse artist whose practice spans plein air painting, art therapy, street art, and poetry. Bridging traditional, outsider, and pop art, his work explores themes of mental health, identity, and transcendence.

Harding’s plein air painting practice began during the pandemic as a therapeutic outlet, evolving into The Painted Path, a series inspired by Raynor Winn’s The Salt Path. Supported by Arts Council England, the project captures the fleeting, sublime beauty of the South West Coast. Influenced by Romantic and post-war landscape painters, his work reflects a spiritual exploration of time and place.

Under the art therapy alias @geezygee.dageeza, Harding uses portraiture to explore recovery and connection. His Care Home Series celebrates individuals with learning disabilities, while his self-portraits—viewed through rippled glass and misted mirrors—reflect on impermanence, identity, and the longing for transcendence.

His street art alias Hardie channels the rebellious energy of the 1990s and 2000s Bristol graffiti scene that shaped his youth. Featured in Children of the Can: An Anthology of Bristol Street Art, Hardie now paints large-scale spray paintings and leads community spray painting workshops.

As @goddododada, Harding explores the poetic space between the eternal (god), extinction (dodo), and the absurd (dada). Through humour, introspection, and absurdity, he transforms delusions and intrusive thoughts into cathartic, stream-of-consciousness writing.

Through these distinct aliases, Harding explores how culture consumes and reframes imagery, stories, and meaning—each identity reflecting different aspects of self, expressed in varied forms, contexts, and communities. Together, they reveal the complex interplay between personal identity and its cultural interpretation, commodification, and consumption.

Harding’s practice explores what it means to be human, offering redemption and connection through creativity that integrates different aspects of ourselves to become whole. His work is held in major collections, including the Welcome Collection, Bristol Museum, and the Bethlem Museum of the Mind.
