Towards the frontier, navigating by the horizon. The vanishing point. Never arriving. Here to disappear—if only momentarily. To be landscape.
The elusive dream of open plains and narratives. The long grass brushing your palms. The road trip that never ends. The moment before thought.
The first chord. A visual proposition.
In Canadafornia is Geoff McFetridge’s first solo exhibition where oil paintings serve as both points of departure and disappearance. The 16 intimately scaled tableaus were created over the past year. Originating as small, loose, notebook-sized studies, McFetridge often revisits each motif in several versions before completing a final iteration on panel.
