In "Feeling the Pinch," Geoff Bonney presents a dynamic exploration of colour, form, and the emotional landscape of the human experience. Drawing inspiration from both the natural world and the psychological terrain within, Geoff's work captures a moment of profound introspection.

This latest collection marks a departure from his earlier geometric precision, embracing a more fluid, expressive style influenced by Helen Frankenthaler's soak-stain technique. The result is a series of paintings where colour bleeds into canvas, lines blur, and the boundaries between the external world and inner consciousness dissolve.

While Geoff’s signature grids still anchor many of these works, there is a newfound looseness—a deliberate messiness—that reflects his recent journey. The exhibition's title, "Feeling the Pinch," speaks to the pressures of creation, the weight of time, and the existential challenges that accompany a serious health diagnosis. Through his art, Geoff processes these challenges, balancing darkness with bursts of optimism and light.

The works invite viewers to look both inward and outward, contemplating not just the physical landscapes around us but also the deeper, often hidden, emotional landscapes we all navigate.

Geoff's playful Dada-inspired sculptures provide a counterbalance to the intensity of his paintings, reminding us of the joy and creativity that persist even in challenging times.
