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 recent works on paper which see the artist continuing to experiment with surface texture as well as overlaying curved and geometric shapes. Recent works have become more complex, with titles that often reference the artist’s choice of palette and mark-making decisions. 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.
