Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This sculptural work features an intriguing amalgamation of organic and industrial forms. The muted silver-gray coloration and irregular, textured surfaces create a sense of weathered, almost fossil-like quality. The central structure evokes a strange, alien creature or plant-like growth, with its twisted, branching appendages emerging from a central core. The overall composition has a delicate, precarious balance, hinting at themes of fragility and the relationship between nature and human-made materials. The artist's use of found or recycled objects in this piece likely reflects a commentary on the environmental impact of industry and technology. ...

Artist

Patrick Goddard

B.1984, British

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. ...
