Joseph Goody, Unravel, 2024
Collage, 76 x 56cm
Joseph Goody’s abstract imagery is inspired by – in his words – ‘literature, castle walls, parapets and ideas of organisation’. Meticulously composed, his works have historically explored geometric forms and layering with a softness that creates a sense of tension.
This unframed collage is one of group of new works on paper which see the artist continuing to experiment with surface texture as well as overlaying curved and geometric shapes. Recent works have become more complex, combining - in this case - drawn lines that playfully weave in and out of translucent and solid forms. The resulting composition presents the viewer with a puzzle of sorts, featuring windows of light as well as rusty-coloured, sharply defined edges.
Joseph graduated from Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2011 and won the Neville Burston Award for Painting. He continued his studies at the Royal Drawing School where he won The Patrons Club Prize in 2012. Sid Motion Gallery, London, presented a solo exhibition of paintings in 2020 and Cob Gallery have shown his works regularly. Oliver Projects has shown Joseph’s works regularly at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, in ‘Almost Blue’ at the RWS Gallery, London, (May 2024) and in ‘Shaping Time’ at Sims Reed Gallery (September 2024). Joseph lives and works in south east London.
