Gertrude Studio Artist
2009 - 2010
Geoff Newton's practice incorporates painting, collage, sound and performance. Exploring art-history and the ideas of authenticity, authorship and the mythology of the artist, his casual and meandering aesthetic intentionally defies the rules of artistic conventions in an ironic and informed manner. In addition, Newton’s training and background in museums and galleries influences the conceptual and formal foundation of much of his work.
