Neofetou was born in Leamington Spa, England on 1 February 1989. He studied at University of Warwick, University of Edinburgh and Goldsmiths, University of London, at which he completed a PhD entitled Eyes in the Heat: The Question Concerning Abstract Expressionism, initially under the supervision of Mark Fisher, and subsequently under the supervision of Josephine Berry and Marina Vishmidt.[11]
His first book, a monograph on David Lynch entitled Good Day Today: David Lynch Destabilises the Spectator (2012), was published by Zero Books.[12][13][14] In 2018, he curated Divine Cargo, an evening of performance art at South London Gallery.[15] In 2018, he contributed to ‘The Annotated Reader’, a publication and exhibition curated by Ryan Gander. In early 2019, he contributed a short essay to the King's College London project "Technologically Fabricated Intimacy."[16]
His second book, Rereading Abstract Expressionism, Clement Greenberg and the Cold War was published in October 2021 with Bloomsbury Publishing.[17] In a review in Leonardo, Jan Baetens writes that it is 'an important contribution to the study of abstract expressionism' which provides 'very stimulating new interpretations of the discourses that have “made” abstract expressionism what it was.'[18]
As a filmmaker, Neofetou wrote and directed the 2024 short film Promulgate, starring Sophie Cundale, which won the award of Best Low Budget Film in the third period of the 2024 Milano Indie Movie Awards.[19]
