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 part of a group of works on paper which see the artist continuing to experiment with surface texture as well as overlaying curved and geometric shapes. The rhythm of poetry is a constant inspiration in Joseph’s works and his titles often evoke a work’s atmosphere. In ‘Thaw’, the cooler tones of the asymmetric vertical shapes that dominate this composition contrast with the lighter washes of pink in the background.
