Geoffrey Oke lives in Aberystwyth and has recently completed an MA in Fine Art at Aberystwyth School of Art. His recent work suggests landscape, but doesn’t attempt to describe it literally. He takes a long time working on each painting, building up layers of glazes. He demonstrates fluency with this method of working. Looking at these paintings we get a sense of something buried but partially revealed.
His paintings are drawn from a variety of sources, drawings of Aberystwyth, photographs of aged surfaces which he has collected and images created on Photoshop. Through their built up surfaces we can call to mind emotions and memories we have of places and times.
