Works in Parallel is not just another enigmatically named exhibition. It describes the very strong relationship between these two artists, and hints at their degree of cross fertilisation of ideas and process. Highly regarded artist Geoffrey Stocks has long produced abstract artworks of the highest calibre. Warren Bonett, his step son, has forged an independent London-based career in graphic design and illustration. When Warren finally returned to Castlemaine in 2006 plans began for a joint show. This exhibition is the product of the last two years of discussions, plans, wanderings, emails, and yes, even actual artwork. Geoffrey’s work ranges from watercolours and acrylics to digital prints and collage, whilst Warren concentrates exclusively on photogravure etchings using polymer based solarplates. Both artists' find inspiration in the relationships between technology and landscape; nature and industry; giving the viewer much food for thought. The mixture of pure abstraction with realism marks both artists work, making Works in Parallel accessible to a wide audience literally spanning the generations.
