Geoff McFetridge It Looks Like It Says
It Looks Like It Says features new paintings and works on paper by Los Angeles-based artist Geoff McFetridge, showcasing his signature simplified imagery, smooth lines, and matte colors. Developed through a meticulous process of sketching, refining, and layering color, the works balance abstraction and figuration, often drawing from memory, imagination, and the artist’s experiences growing up in Canada and living in Los Angeles.
