Based in Melbourne and London, Geurts' conceptually driven practice focuses on the way that cultural and natural forces intersect to shape both landscape and perception. Through abstraction, fieldwork, site-actions and studio research, his recent projects explore paradigms of measurement and commodification of water bodies, investigating concepts of time by traversing the primordial to the technological networks of the contemporary world. His site-actions often include modifying analogue and digital methods to emulate conditions of the site.

Geurts completed a Master of Fine Arts at RMIT University (2011) and Post Graduate research at Vrije Academie, GEMAK The Hague (2009). Recent projects include Latent Channel, ACME London Studio residency, Australia Council for the Arts, UK (2022); Time Zero: International Date Line, Sovereign Asian Art Prize Hong Kong (2022); and Flow Equation, TarraWarra Biennial, TarraWarra Museum of Art (2021). Solo exhibitions include Floodplain, National Gallery of Victoria (2018); Water Gate, Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan (2017); and Resurveying Site, Zhulong Gallery Dallas Texas, USA (2014). Recent group exhibitions include The Habitat of Time, Arts Catalyst, London UK (2020) / Casula Powerhouse NSW (2018); Urban Heat Island, COLLUMNIA II, Cologne, Germany (2019); Fathom I, RESPONSIVE: International Light Art Projects and Dalhousie Art Gallery, Halifax, Canada (2018).
