GEOFF CHAPPELL: Born in Buckinghamshire, Geoff Chappell migrated to Australia for 24 years before returning to the UK where he now lives in Newcastle upon Tyne. A self-taught artist, Geoff creates his vibrant abstract paintings using airbrushes and acrylic water based paint on canvas. Art Deco designs and architecture, as well as his experience working as an engineer – where he was captivated by turning pieces of metal – have inspired his works. Geoff said: “Seeing the metal turn in a lathe, producing a series of circles on the surface inspired my works. The light then reflects, changing the metal into a mirror which reflects the colours from the surrounding environment. The circles are made up of combinations of colours and, as the work develops, takes on the meaning of either an emotion or memory.”
