About Geoff Birrell Art
Geoff Birrell is an Australian abstract artist who strives for total abstraction without reference to anything recognizable. His aim is for the viewer to achieve an aesthetic experience without concern for subject. His early works were all traditional landscapes based on visual experiences at a family sheep property in Central NSW, however, as his works progressed he became more concerned with painting what he felt as opposed to what he saw.
Geoff is also an established photographer. In a similar situation with his art he initially captured full colour compositions but decided to concentrate on black & white. Geoff believes there is an indescribable magic in black and white that is impossible to explain. It is the shadows and the highlights; in the details and in the mystique. Black and white treads that fine line between reality and fantasy. His photographic works can be found on Art Lovers Australia under “Geoff Birrell Photography”.
