V1 Gallery is pleased to present
In Canadafornia
A solo exhibition by Geoff McFetridge
OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY JUNE 6. TIME: 16.00 – 21.00
EXHIBITION PERIOD: JUNE 6 – AUGUST 9. 2025
Towards the frontier, navigating by the horizon. The vanishing point. Never arriving. Here to disappear—if only momentarily. To be landscape.
The elusive dream of open plains and narratives. The long grass brushing your palms. The road trip that never ends. The moment before thought.
The first chord. A visual proposition.
In Canadafornia is Geoff McFetridge’s first solo exhibition where oil paintings serve as both points of departure and disappearance. The 16 intimately scaled tableaus were created over the past year. Originating as small, loose, notebook-sized studies, McFetridge often revisits each motif in several versions before completing a final iteration on panel.
Geoff McFetridge (b. 1971, Edmonton, Canada) is a Los Angeles-based artist and multidisciplinary auteur. Instinctively ignoring creative boundaries, his practice spans painting, drawing, sculpture, poetry, animation, graphic design, ceramics, public artworks, and title sequences for films including The Virgin Suicides, Adaptation, Where the Wild Things Are, and Her. He has exhibited widely across Europe, North America, and Japan. Geoff McFetridge: Drawing a Life, a documentary by Dan Covert, premiered to critical acclaim in 2023. In Canadafornia marks his sixth solo exhibition with V1 Gallery & Eighteen.
