Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This artwork is a captivating mixed-media piece that blends the abstract and the representational. The composition is dominated by a hazy, ethereal gray backdrop, creating a sense of atmospheric depth and mystery. The foreground features a miniature, three-dimensional landscape, complete with small-scale buildings, vehicles, and other elements, juxtaposed against the larger, ambiguous setting. The artist's use of varied textures and materials, such as the textural paint and the detailed model structures, adds visual interest and a tactile quality to the work. The overall effect is one of a dreamlike, surreal landscape that invites the viewer to ponder the relationship between the real and the imagined. The piece likely reflects the artist's exploration of the interplay between the tangible and the intangible, and the blurred boundaries between the physical and the metaphysical. ...
Patrick Goddard primarily creates video, sculpture and installation as well as working with photography, painting and drawing. His politically loaded and narrative based works undermine themselves with a self-defeating black comedy as they chart the artist’s fumbled attempts to create a personal and political integrity. Works focus on a range of topics: from ecology, the Anthropocene and the animal; to race politics, gentrification, and urbanization.
Goddard’s recent solo exhibitions include ‘Pedigree’, Seventeen, 2022; ‘Die Biester’, E-Werk, Freiburg, 2021; ‘Trip to Eclipse’, Matt’s Gallery, London 2020; ‘Go Professional’, Seventeen, 2017; ‘Looking for the Ocean Estate’ Almanac Projects, London, 2016, ‘Gone To Croatan’ at Outpost Gallery, Norwich, 2015; ‘Revolver II’ at Matt’s Gallery, London, 2014. He is also featured in the UK touring exhibition, British Art Show 9, 2021-22 and released a book of photography with the Basel based publishers Speres Projects in 2022. Goddard completed an MFA at Goldsmiths University in 2011 and a doctorate at Oxford University in 2018.
Most recently, Goddard presented a solo exhibit at the inaugural Paris+ par Art Basel centred around a new film titled Whoopsie’s Dream. ...
