Joseph Goody is interested in the authenticity of paint as a medium.
In his paintings, Joseph’s compositions of painterly geometric forms and broad kinetic curves provide an opportunity for the figurative and emotive characteristics of paint to operate. The momentum, posture and form, whether as mediation upon previous layering or something spontaneous, can provide the opportunity for a seemingly authentic response.
In his collage series, Joseph explores the ability to combine quite radically different surfaces with one another, something he sees as being quite antithetical with painting, where the artist is trying to compose a coherent ‘whole’ image.
