Gary Goodman
“The creative process can call up the spirits of the subconscious... I aim to use colour
and shape, and to apply paint in a passionate celebratory way... In my pictures I strive
to ensure that the POSITIVE maintains the upper hand... Can a painting laugh or cry?
Colours and paints determinedly playing.
Some people say it is childlike and in a way it is. But it’s also deep and dark. I look
at simplifying things – going back to basics. The work has loads of layers – kind of like
ghosts from the past.
Some people really like it, and some hate it. People seem to be divided strongly, which I
like, it’s better than being the middle of the road.”

Since 1986 Gary Goodman has exhibited his work extensively. In Alaska, France, USA, New
Zealand, Norway, Germany, Italy and many galleries across the UK. His work has been shown
at The National Portrait Gallery, Art First in Cork Street, The Mall Galleries (Discerning
Eye), The Royal College of Art (Hunting Art Prizes) and scores of others.
Norbert Lynton said of Gary’s work “Goodman’s paintings have coherence, beauty, vividness:
they are much more than jottings from his personal diary, though that would be a lot:
they are intelligently worked art, in which impulse, not to mention the instinctual
talent of the true painter, is mitigated by self-awareness, self-criticism.” “Primitive?
Crude? I marvel at his lyricism and delicacy.”
