In this series based on my own photographs, I transport viewers through Melbourne’s city streets, laying bare the weathered heritage buildings; sneakers over power lines, and other traces of modern life that are often overlooked.
These paintings are created by using aerosol and acrylic paint, and stencils created through photography and digital art. This results in graffiti/impressionism hybrid style works saturated in bold colours and images, making it impossible not to notice all the vibrant, gritty, and uniquely Melbourne life that fills the streets of our city.
This current body of work reveal the many different aspects of our everyday surroundings and turns the mundane into something beautiful and unexpected.

ABOUT GEOFF
"What I have always loved about stencil artwork is that the detail is not always needed, as the human brain automatically fills in the gaps, therefore engaging the viewer in the painting without them realising it. I love that it combines a wide range of artistic skills - from photography, digital manipulation, detailed hand cutting of stencils, spray painting, and more traditional hand painted brushwork. I love the challenge of bringing all of these different disciplines together to create a finished piece that invites an emotional response, but also the opportunity for the viewer to look beyond the colours and composition to see hidden details, extra meaning or unexpected touches.”
