close up details of two square miniature landscapes hanging on a wall. they depict suburban Australian scenes in Adelaide. the left painting portrays a give way sign, a stobey pole with power lines, and a home with a red roof. the right photo portrays a stobey pole with power lines, some trees, and a different home with a green roof. — Georgina Repo, detail of miniature landscapes from ‘No Through Road’, 2025, oil on wood.

NO THROUGH ROAD: THE DEAD ENDS OF MEMORY LANE explores themes of memory, place, and the complex evolving relationship between physical environments and emotional attachment. Using cropped imagery of Australian scenes, specifically from Adelaide and Melbourne neighbourhoods, the miniature landscapes evoke intimate glimpses into suburban spaces and moments suspended in time. Power lines, road signs, and details of family homes depict scenes that at once feel familiar yet unrecognisable.

Georgina Repo primarily paints in oil on miniature wooden panels and creates intricately crafted small objects and handmade sketchbooks, occasionally working in other mediums including pencil, acrylic, and watercolour. Her work observes the unnoticed: the quiet stillness that exists within the ordinary, the subtle softness of memory, and the transience of time. Her works form a muffled conversation that notices, contemplates and reflects, in glimpses, moments and fragments.
