“I AM FASCINATED BY THE BEAUTY, DRAMA & HUMOUR IN EVERYDAY LIFE.”
Geoff Cunningham, is a stencil artist based in Melbourne. Cunningham draws inspiration from urban landscapes, travel, and native Australian birds. Utilising his hand-cut stencil technique and distinctive blend of hand-painted "abstract" backgrounds layered with spray paint, Cunningham crafts artworks that embody nostalgia, humour, and surrealism. His compelling narratives unfold on these dynamic canvases, reflecting his diverse influences and creative vision.
ABOUT GEOFF
"What I have always loved about stencil artwork is that the detail is not always needed, as the human brain automatically fills in the gaps, therefore engaging the viewer in the painting without them realising it. I love that it combines a wide range of artistic skills - from photography, digital manipulation, detailed hand cutting of stencils, spray painting, and more traditional hand painted brushwork. I love the challenge of bringing all of these different disciplines together to create a finished piece that invites an emotional response, but also the opportunity for the viewer to look beyond the colours and composition to see hidden details, extra meaning or unexpected touches.”
