Diena Georgetti

Georgetti held her first individual and group exhibitions in Brisbane in 1986.^[3]

In 1989, she received critical attention for her early series of blackboard paintings after they were exhibited in the Institute of Modern Art, and later at the Biennale of Sydney in 1992.^[5] The blackboards featured words or phrases scrawled across the blackboards, sometimes elegantly and sometimes chaotically and awkwardly, and were exhibited together in clusters of works.^[5] The words Georgetti used were German and Latinate, and often resembled English words that were suggestive in nature.^[5]

In 2008, Georgetti was the focus of major survey exhibition, The Humanity of Abstract Painting.^[3] The exhibition displayed a diverse range of Georgetti's works from 1988 to 2008,^[3] taken from various public and private collections from throughout Australia and New Zealand.^[3]

Georgetti's style has been described as part idealist and part surrealist^[6] and represents a diverse array of artistic styles.^[3]
