Editorial Review: Product Description: Geoff McFetridges graphics are known for their ability to plainly talk about intangible things. Geoff McFetridge showcases new work in a collection called I Can See the Music, in which the artist explores subjects such as the inner workings of a piano, and how to see a song or a poem. Somewhere between an artists book, a catalogue, and an inspirational album for everyday mind-trips, this book is a dense collection of paintings, drawings, sketches, and comic-style designs with idiosyncratic philosophic taglines in hand-drawn type. Geoff McFetridges work is said to offer puzzles with many different answers, and his images have been called a cliché you have never heard before. With iconic pieces with universal and starry messages such as Hold on to Young Ideas (2005) and The Sun Does Not Know it Is a Star (2006), this book also includes graphics rarely seen, and never before reproduced, plus a number of new works created specifically for these pages. Geoff McFetridge has had numerous solo shows in America, Japan, and Europe, and his work was part of the touring group show Beautiful Losers.
