Los Angeles based artist Geoff McFetridge (b. 1971) moves seamlessly between  graphic design, fine art, and psychology. Known for his clean lines and  flattened color fields, McFetridge uses simplified forms to explore interior  states and emotional landscapes. He notably shaped the visual identity of  Spike Jonze’s film Her (2013), creating a near future world both familiar and  strange.

Outside  Experience presents a quiet meditation on refuge and connection.  The figures nestle not in architecture but within the body of an animal;  offering shelter that is ancient, soft, and breathing. These forms are  metaphors for memory, instinct, and belonging, reminding us how to be still  and held by something  greater.

The work gestures  toward ecological intimacy, not as salvation but shared vulnerability. It  reflects the permeable boundaries between human and earth, between presence  and what lies beneath. Through this work, we can feel the essence of the show  where we must find the right balance to coexist with Mother Nature vs  destroying it.

McFetridge has  been included in museum exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver;  Contemporary Calgary, Calgary; the Santa Monica Museum of Art, Santa Monica;  the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Yale University Art Museum, New  Haven; Museum of African American Art (MAAA), and The Geffen Contemporary at  MoCA; Los Angeles. </p><br>
