Gary Goodman studied at Brighton University. He has been exhibiting his art and performing poetry since 1987.
His paintings, prints and drawings have been exhibited both in the UK and overseas, including: the National Portrait Gallery; Charleston Farm House, East Sussex; the Royal College of Art, London; Atelier Klint, Germany; et al. He has undertaken many artists’ residencies and workshops, and is the recipient of numerous awards to travel and create new work.
Gary Goodman paints images and writes poems of resounding directness. At once bright and often humorous, but fully accepting of life’s inherent darkness, his works are presented with an emotional and honest intensity that leave the audience rapt.
“Being free, natural, wild and unpredictable, celebrating the glory and wonder of the everyday world. Show Me The Wonder is a poem by J Brian Craig, and also a song by the Manic Street Preachers: ‘…a sense of belonging, a sense of inspiration…’” Gary Goodman
We are delighted to host Gary Goodman’s first solo exhibition at Arundel Contemporary.
