About

Geoff Diego Litherland is 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.

Artist Statement

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.
