If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Film, Installation, Painting, Video

I am...: a Mexican-born artist based in London. Having had a colourful upbringing in Bolivia and Ecuador he moved to England and graduated from Falmouth College of Arts in 2002 with first class honours in Fine Art Painting.

He has exhibited 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 2008 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. internationally since 2000.

I am frustrated musician.

About my artwork: The imagery in my work is carefully selected from a multitude of influences that are often chosen for their prophetic and apocalyptic undertones. These grand themes are then reconfigured to form petits recits or localised narratives. Meanings are reassigned in an attempt to comprehend the past and foresee the future.

The colour, form and physicality of the work seek to further augment the ideological discrepancies inherent in the found subject matter. The paintings emerge from dark, geometric backgrounds where painterly abstractions jostle with 3D forms to generate awkward compositions that aspire to enlighten yet offer little resolution.

Artists I like: Fabian Marcaccio, James Turrell, Brian Eno, James Whitney, Bryan Wynter, Henri Michaux.

I stumbled across the Closely Held Secrets exhibition when I was in Nottingham the back end of last year and thought your pieces were amazing. They definitely inspired my collograph plates I made recently in Printmaking.

Just wondering if you had collected the work from the Southwell show, if so let me know and we'll have to meet up for a drink when i collect them. I have just sorted details for new studio that I'll move into at the beginning of next year which is a bit of a relief! Hope the concusion is all a vague memory now. See you later
