Geoff McFetridge is a Canadian artist, filmmaker, and designer based in Los Angeles. He focuses on simplicity and uses atonal colors. More specifically, he draws basic shapes and figures to depict his art. However, simple is definitely not dull. “Another of the reasons for the simplicity is because, when everything starts as a drawing, everything is possible […]” he explains regarding his illustration art. “My paintings announce something and then confuse you, or they propose some sort of unfinishable proposition“.
