Exhibiting Wednesday 7th August - 21st August 2024
Growing up from an early age in the family sign making business was the ultimate privilege, surrounded by signs, paint and master sign writers. Though never formerly trained as a sign writer my forte was discovered very early on, working after school producing the majority of our businesses pictorials, many award winners. These days my still life works are very much drawn from
this era, utilising much of the imagery I worked with, Coca Cola, Lanes Thompson etc. we literally screen printed thousands of Coke posters through the eighties and produced numerous pictorials!
The goal with all my still life works is to imbue the subject with life, I paint the subject almost as a product employing the time consuming technique of crosshatching to achieved the desired result.
'Wonderland' is something of a new direction, both in technique and subject matter, conscious of time and the need to paint larger paintings I've chosen to employ a more painterly style. Like a breath of fresh air wonderland girl stepped into my studio with beauty, grace and all the optimism of youth! The perfect picture! - Geoff Williams
