Please join us for the Opening Reception of Brenda Goodman’s solo exhibition, “In a Lighter Place”! Thursday, January 24th from 6-8PM.
#BrendaGoodman: “My work is not preconceived but is more akin to the improvisations of jazz. The painting develops through a series of intuitive choices guided by an understanding of formal issues and my years of experience. Since 2006, I have been incising lines on thick paper as a starting point for my oil on paper pieces. A little over a year ago, it occurred to me that I could use that same technique on my larger wood panels. I bought a linoleum cutter and started making deep incisions randomly over the whole surface. Then, working intuitively, I choose a group of cut marks and put a color down to create a shape. That shape informed the next, then the next, and the painting grew until I knew it was “right” and complete.” Image: “Pink”, 2018, oil on wood, 50 x 72 inches.
