GEOFFREY CARRAN | Hunting Collective

It’s hard to describe Geoffrey Carran’s artwork with words as they don’t seem to do it justice. But, here it goes. Geoffrey is a pictorial artist from Jan Juc in Victoria and his depiction of birds is simply magnificent. Geoffrey lives a quiet life close to the beach with his partner and his fellow artist Rowena Martinich. Their home is filled with artwork and surfboards and they are surrounded by nature. Being a short distant to the ocean is a key part of Geoffrey’s creative process, as his time spent surfing and procrastinating is imperative to discovering ideas and inspiration. Much like his subject matter Geoffrey is composed and attentive. He speaks with honesty and humility and his laid-back personality reveals itself as he eases into your company.

The sheer scale and detail of Geoffrey’s paintings is breath-taking. He is able to capture the personality of each bird and bury it deep into each painted layer. When I look at his birds I seem to understand what each one is thinking, their personality reveals itself to me, but only me as if I’ve been let in on a secret. Geoffrey transferred his large scale birds onto his clock and the result is no less spectacular. His colourful cockatoo centres around the eye, the clock hands have been shaped and coloured to become part of the artwork and change its appearance as time goes by.
