About 

Geoffrey Pimlott

Based in Normandy, Guildford, Surrey GU3 2AY, 

Geoffrey Pimlott makes work that challenges the traditional and accepted notions of all painting in terms of subject matter, treatment and techniques.

His paintings are about visual presence, bound by incongruous couplings, that exist in the abstract form; suspended onthe flat surface that the working space contains. This is what that space is for; instants of asymmetry , expressed as shape, colour, and textures
By layeringpainting’s elements ; being the ‘playground’ where each work emerges through process and practice.
Each parties a perfect economy; nothing is redundant.

‘My work concerns itself with the surface I work on and what I do to it as an abstract response to my experiences of the environment I live in. I use, and have developed, a wide variety of process that I incorporate into my work to achieve these outcomes. I work mainly on papers in watercolour and other water-based mediums but will also introduce mediums such as oil paint, metal paint, and spay paint to achieve my imagery, as appropriate.

My works are to be ‘looked at and nothing more!”

Geoffrey was elected a member of the Royal Watercolour Society in 2006, and is a Fellow of the Free Painters & Sculptors, and a member of the Reigate Society of Artists.

He has exhibited in the UK regularly in solo, mixed, and group exhibitions since 1969 and won a number of awards including a Rome Study Bursary in 1992 and the RWS Award - 21st Century Open in 2005.

A spokesperson for Phoenix Cultural Centre said ‘We always wanted every part of the venue to be open to creative expression that everyone could be part of. Geoff’s work is vibrant and spirit lifting and every visitor to the building can enjoy it.   We met Geoff when we attended poetry nights and the Write Out Loud nights started in Phoenix Cultural Centre, we were thrilled when he offered to support us in such a generous way with his work and his donations from the proceeds of it.  It is this collaboration in community action that reflects everything we believe in’
