Working primarily in oil on canvas, Darryn George has mastered a unique style of geometric abstraction which incorporates dizzying pop art colours and a host of influences from popular culture to Maori kowhaiwhai. The lineage of abstraction in George’s measured geometric compositions is discernable - from Mondrian and the de Stijl movement, through to Peter Halley, Bridget Riley, Sol Lewitt, Donald Judd and closer to home, Gordon Walters. However, whereas pure formalism is impervious to cultural references, George appears to be defining himself through them.
