Ib Geertsen

Ib Geertsen created art that "was what it was", wonderfully vibrant and playful abstracts that contained no message other than the pure aesthetic. Geertsen's work was unknown to me until his death a couple of weeks ago, and I would love to have had the opportunity to see the exhibition at the Rocket Gallery (another marvellous recent find). A painter, printer, sculpture and, rather wonderfully, a designer of children's play areas. It seems that Ib Geertsen also planned his work by cutting out and arranging pieces of paper, so I am in good company. Anyhow, check out the Rocket Galleries exhibition pages for his work. Fab.
