ABOUT


Geoff Diego Litherland is a Mexican born artist based in London. Having spent his early years in Bolivia and Ecuador he moved to England and graduated from Falmouth College of Arts in 2002 with a first class honours degree in Fine Art Painting.

 

He has exbihibited widely, both nationally and internationally. Recognition to date has included being selected for the John Moores 25 Painting prize at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool and winning the Nottingham Castle Open.

 

Geoff is currently an Associate Lecturer in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University and is undertaking a part-time MFA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths University of London.


 

ARTIST STATEMENT

The imagery in the work is selected from a multitude of influences that are often chosen for their prophetic and apocalyptic undertones. Images are filtered through a historical materialist perspective, where the past is seen as ongoing and shifting in meaning dependent on the position of the present.

 

Idealized romantic landscapes are held up by increasingly fragile supports, which are pieced together from the debris of spacecraft, industrial structures and painterly remains.

 

Through the appropriation of resonating ideologies such as Romanticism and early Science Fiction, the paintings seek to not only question our perception of nature, but paintings’ historical and current role in that.
