The Daily Grind

I wanted to push the boundaries of what is "normal" when it comes to paintings on canvas. I came up with the idea of joining various size canvases together to create an irregular shaped final piece. This could be thought of as different segments of our lives making up the whole, whilst the roller coaster and Ferris wheel are also symbolic of the trials of life. We see the "standing man"; his back to the world, reading the newspaper over and over - just another day on the daily grind.
If you want a real conversation starter for your walls - you won't find anything like this!

Geoff Cunningham, is a stencil artist based in Melbourne. Cunningham draws inspiration from urban landscapes, travel, and native Australian birds. Utilising his hand-cut stencil technique and distinctive blend of hand-painted "abstract" backgrounds layered with spray paint, Cunningham crafts artworks that embody nostalgia, humour, and surrealism.

ABOUT GEOFF
I am a stencil artist. I create art that bridges memory and imagination, using stencils as my language. Based in Melbourne, I blend photography, digital design, hand cut stencils and paint to craft scenes that feel both familiar and a little unexpected. My technique is constant, but my subjects shift—each piece layered with hidden details and quiet stories, inviting you to look closer and feel something deeper.
I believe art shouldn't match your space - it should MAKE it!
Thanks for stepping into my world. I hope you find a piece that speaks to you.
