Aviary

Watercolor on cold-press paper, 10x14”, 2024.

“Aviary” is inspired by the anime movie "The Boy and the Heron". A stoic soldier carrying a thin bow is backlit by an enormous firework as a tower of white blocks loom on the horizon. This piece is a continuation of an effort by Geoff to push his paintings farther away from the source material. This direction is to let the pieces live on their own and have deeper connection than simple reference.
