Born 1968, in the lower eastern corner of Pennsylvania,

 

H. George Herbert received a BFA from Tyler School of Art in 1991 where he studied in Rome for a year. Due to a condition called aspergers syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder marked by a lack of communication skills, the artist experienced a delay in speech development as a child. A lifelong struggle with verbal communication has left him unable to participate in most social activity while giving him a prime opportunity to observe the complex dance of social interaction from the outside. As a result, the artist is more interested in how the actions created by his subjects convey their motives and intents. Creating a dialogue with the viewer to relate how the actions of individuals within smaller groups ultimately have an affect on a much wider scale is the main goal of the artist. A need to explore the “space between” the subjects is of greater value in telling the story of relationships.

 

 


His one solo show in 1999 was a premature attempt at conveying these relationships. Several years, plus the incessant complainants of countless gallery directors, were needed to develop a consistent theme.

 

 


Prone to fits of hyper-focus, at the turn of the century the artist immersed himself into his contracting business. After establishing a successful and nationally recognized faux finishing business the artist now feels a need to communicate his ideas on social relationships.

 

 


The artist is currently exploring themes about the frivolity of people’s beliefs in his work.
