Collage, 76 x 56cm
Joseph Goody’s abstract imagery is inspired by – in his words – ‘literature, castle walls, parapets and ideas of organisation’. Meticulously composed, his works have historically explored geometric forms and layering with a softness that creates a sense of tension.
This unframed collage is one of group of new works on paper which see the artist continuing to experiment with surface texture as well as overlaying curved and geometric shapes. Joseph’s most recent works have become increasingly complex, inviting the viewer to engage with clearly defined forms, alongside those that are suggested or obscured. The work’s title adds to the sense of tension between the foreground and what lies beneath, present in his compositions.
