Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This striking black and white artwork features a ghostly, shadowy figure of a woman seated amid a swirling, atmospheric background. The image is rendered in a hazy, impressionistic style, with broad brushstrokes and a sense of ethereal movement. The subject's face is obscured, creating an air of mystery and introspection.

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.
