| |  Geoff Francis has been a full time artist for over 20 years. The bold but irresistible step of becoming an artist at the age of 40 allowed him the confidence in the uniqueness of his own and interesting eye, giving him freedom from the constraints and limitations of more conventional avenues. This vision can be seen in his work with both canvas and camera.
Shortlisted for the 2012 Saatchi Abstract Showdown, Geoff brings a particular emotion and depth to his art, whether through the lens or with paint, which is why it has often found a place in the home of other celebrated artists and performers. Some have found resonances in his images with expressionist and impressionist artists such as Turner, Rothko, Freud, Chagall and Bacon. His work has a strong following.
At the core of Geoff's art (and life) is his love and respect for nature and all those we share the world with. Geoff seeks to capture the moment of inevitable chance in the making of the work, and particularly what happens with light in that moment.
Geoff was shortlisted for the second round of the Saatchi Abstract Showdown (2012) for his abstract painting 'Imagine No John Lennon'. He was one of just 300 artists chosen out of around 3300 entries.
Geoff is also a published writer, poet and filmmaker and Creative Director of Bonobo TV, a not for profit internet TV channel that celebrates respect for the planet and all those who share it.
