Paintings by Geoff Farnsworth
This exhibit explores the artist's evolving focus on the human figure, transitioning from a recent blend of figures, animals, and abstract natural elements. Through serene, dream-like settings, the paintings create a peaceful, surreal atmosphere that invites quiet reflection.
Overview
The public is invited to the opening reception on April 6th, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM to meet the artist and experience his work firsthand. Artist's remarks will be delivered at 2:30 pm. This event is generously supported by Château des Charmes, providing an assortment of fine wines.
Artist's Statement
My paintings explore a relationship between figurative and abstraction in order to meld unconscious probing and stylistic innovation with a meditative figural base. It is important to me that the paintings work well as collections of shape, colour, texture, and energy, while also building a compelling image. Working with people and objects from my personal world, I focus on maintaining a balance between plan and accident, known and unknown, restraint and exuberance. My figures look out as much into mindscape as landscape.
