Geoff Diego Litherland is a Mexican born artist who is now based in Derbyshire in the UK. His intriguing oil paintings are like nothing that have been seen before, blending a variety of different styles and influences ranging from Surrealism to elements of Abstraction. Within his work, which Geoff describes himself as ‘post-apocalyptic romanticism’, epic wildernesses straight out of a 19th-Century tableau are juxtaposed against space-age technology. In doing so, he aims to explore connections between our thoughts of nature in the past, present and future, and how this relates to the rapidly growing technology industry.
