A Solo Show

December 16-31, 2009
With an opening reception, Friday December 18th, 6-8pm

In his art François Geffray transforms painterly movements into something tangible, something intriguingly fluid on canvas, upon seeing which viewers can’t help the desire to touch and feel. His works are intuitive and vibrant, composed of shapes and lines that are free-spiritedly manipulated to form a world of fanciful naïveté yet his portrayal of humans and objects echo Classicism, while exuding warm, ominous, or eccentric atmosphere. The work is vivid and refreshing, creating an otherworldly atmosphere where nature comes to life on canvas and invites viewers for a walk in Geffray’s world.

French artist Geffray is no stranger to new challenges. With an extensive array of mediums from digital art to painting, his body of work is vast and varied.
Geffray’s visual interpretations are deceptively child-like, minimalist and captivating works, which he creates through detailed ink, acrylic and oil paint, and also in his use of bold, vibrant, colors. His paintings are a kind of electrified impressionism; with a palette of bright hues Geffray captures light and movement with an unusual forcefulness. Manipulating linear and geometric shapes, Geffray creates imagery that is at once surreal and rooted in an affinity to reality.

Geffray’s artwork takes a psychological perspective of the “other.” Drawing on images from day-to-day life Geffray’s work highlights both the highs and lows, contrasts and similarities between human relationships by producing morphed images that combine literal representation with metaphor.
