George O’Connor was born Jan 2nd, 1936, in Boston, Massachusetts. He is an American painter who began as an exponent of the minimalist art movement and later became known for his irregularly shaped works and large-scale multimedia reliefs. O’Connor studied art at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, and obtained his BA in History at Princeton University in 1958. He originally painted in an Abstract Expressionist style, mostly figural and nudes, but upon moving to New York City in the late 1950s he began work on a series of innovative paintings marked by an austere and monumental simplicity of design, often with an architectural underpinning or theme. He had his first solo exhibition in 1960 in New York City, and he painted a series of progressively more complex variations on the theme of the frame-determined design, using both metallic-colored paints and irregularly shaped canvases to that purpose. By the 1970s he was experimenting with mixed media and sculpture, but little is known of his later life, or even if he is still alive. His works, broadly spread over so many styles, techniques, and mediums, have been highly sought by collectors for some time now, and can be found in private collections all over the world.
