About

Mister Geez (Gerald Marie-Nelly) is a visual artist from Martinique, based in London, whose work bridges street and documentary photography with mixed media. His artistic journey began in 2014, using photography as a means of storytelling and exploration. Over the years, he has documented communities in Haiti, run a studio in East London, assisted in photography workshops for Crisis UK for Homelessness alleviation, and exhibited internationally. 

His practice is defined by two distinct approaches. His black-and-white photography captures spontaneous moments of urban life, later transformed through the platinum/palladium process to enhance their depth and timeless quality. In contrast, his cyanotype mixed media works merge photography with data visualization, layering photographic elements with coded graphics to reveal hidden narratives.

Mister Geez’s ongoing project, London Street Chronicles, is a multi-volume exploration of city life. The first volume, Inner Child Playground, was showcased at the Photobook Café in London. His commissions include When the Beast Knocks, an introspective look at living with cluster headaches, and a large-scale cyanotype billboard for Space Ilford honouring British boxing legend Nigel Benn.

Through his self-published books, exhibitions, and workshops, he continues to push the boundaries of visual storytelling. His work invites viewers to rediscover the world with curiosity and wonder, blending tradition and innovation through alternative printing processes.
