Always innovative and inspiring, Los Angeles based artist Geoff McFetridge recently opened his latest solo exhibition titled ‘Around Us & Between Us’ at Ivory and Black in London.
Geoff created a series of 10 new acrylic paintings on canvas in his distinctive and reductive style, giving each different subject the same treatment and refinery. In the artist’s own words: “Images are central to my painting. The images are varied, while my treatment of them is very consistent. The imagery is refined to a point of anonymous functionality. The paintings are meant to feel as if they were pulled directly from the lexicon. I paint some things because they are things that I have seen, but more importantly, I believe they are things that the viewer has seen. I am painting from life, but not life purely found in the landscape, but the also psychological, mediated, and transcendental world that infects our consciousness.”
