The term abstract often evokes a sense of spontaneity - of wild, unbridled, undisciplined creative process.

But there is nothing random or uncalculated about Geoff's art.

His paintings are the result of exhaustive, painstaking, and time consuming processes, employing techniques honed over many years of experimentation.

Once the painting is built up with successive layers of paint, it is allowed to dry,  then scratched or scraped back. When the painting is dry again, the process is repeated - sometimes many times over - until a rich and layered surface texture is achieved.

Geoff's work is imaginative, imbuing each painting with a subtext that opens a dialog with the artist.

Evocative and haunting, the art of Geoff Roderick entices the viewer to explore a world rich in detail, eloquent in its quiet simplicity, and timeless in its beauty.
