Dream-team alert: Check out Nieves' new zine by Geoff McFetridge

The only thing more joyous and fascinating than peering at Geoff McFetridge’s paintings is seeing the sketches that were made by his hand in the lead-up to their creation. We’ve gushed before about Geoff a lot, particularly about the fact that he more often than not works from his mind rather than from life. His sketchbooks are full of diagrams and viewpoints invented by his brain and scribbled down before evolving into beautiful, serene paintings, and have just been collected into a new publication from my very own favourite publishers, Nieves.

“I have always been interested in creating work that lies between image and language. Imagery that your mind ‘reads’ as language rather than seeing them as spatial or physical things,” Geoff says. “These graphic images are for me a way to induce a misfiring of our mind to create a connection, and resonance for the viewer. I want them to feel something, not happy, or sad, but to feel like the letter T.”

You can have a peek at the spreads of this new book over on the Nieves site. Want your own copy? Get in line and don’t dawdle, these are gonna sell out faster than you can say “Geoff is the best guy ever.”
