Geoff Pocock

Geoff Pocock

(1946–2019)

British Artist, Land Art Pioneer, and Visionary of Geometric Abstraction

Geoff Pocock was a British-born artist whose bold and contemplative works explored the intersections of geometry, color, and spiritual resonance. A graduate of the prestigious School of Visual Arts in New York City in the 1970s, Pocock was deeply influenced by the rise of the Environmental and Land Art movements. His monumental 1976 installation 24 Squared, created in the iconic landscape of Monument Valley, reflected a profound engagement with nature, minimalism, and the passage of time.

Pocock’s artistic practice spanned painting, sculpture, experimental theater, and literature. He was known for his distinctive “Geometrics”—multi-layered, freehand compositions that employed optical patterning, subtle tonal contrasts, and spiritual symbolism. His work drew inspiration from both modernist abstraction and Eastern philosophy, creating a visual language rooted in harmony, rhythm, and mindfulness.

Throughout his career, Pocock exhibited in the U.S. and Europe, collaborated with avant-garde performance groups, and published poetry and prose. His legacy lives on through his expansive body of work and through 24 Squared Revisited—a daughter-led reimagining of his most iconic land art piece, honoring his artistic vision while opening space for new voices and intergenerational collaboration.
