BRENT GODFREY • IDENTITIES • ABSTRACT PAINTINGS
runs through May 30, 2026
ARTIST STATEMENT
I use the painting process to translate objects, figures and environments into physical metaphor. Combining varying degrees of abstraction and representation, I explore identity and memory, interpersonal relationships and societal structures. My paintings focus on moments when meaning is revealed and understanding shaped through the triumvirate of intellectual, emotional and physical experiences.
DESCRIPTION • IDENTITIES
In IDENTITIES, Godfrey contemplates the ongoing evolution of personal personas. Juxtaposing core values and traits with competing external manipulations, Godfrey’s paintings reflect upon what is immutable and idiosyncratic and what is fickle, subject to other people’s opinions and social forces.
As always, Godfrey’s paintings embrace a diversity of styles, creating assorted visuals that carry the eye and mind through unique journeys. Elements of figurative tradition blend with abstraction to consider the evolution of identity, the presence of external forces and individual strengths.
