About the Artwork
Brett Goodroad (Tournesol Awardee ‘12) works outside, en plein air, and his paintings capture a sense of openness and isolation in equal measure, evoking the atmosphere (air; sky; natural light) as it relates to paint and as paint relates to it. Hilton Als, writing for The New Yorker in 2021 on Goodroad’s blend of figuration and abstraction, observed how the artist's paintings seem to "want to devour the very subjects that inspire them." This oscillation between hunger and reluctance characterizes the delicate nature of Goodroad’s image-making—a symbiotic relationship between surface, brush, paint, and idea, wherein metamorphosis becomes the subject itself. Goodroad's approach embraces emergence as its focal point—an invitation to witness and be. Untitled was made outdoors in Arizona, using ochred hues of yellow, green, and red—an earthy palette Goodroad has often favored in communion with the natural landscapes of the American Southwest. Goodroad’s recent solo exhibitions include Greene Naftali, New York, in collaboration with Cushion Works, curated by Hilton Als; Gregory Lind Gallery, San Francisco; ADZ Gallery, Lisbon; and Phoenix Art Space, Brighton, United Kingdom. Significant group shows include Greene Naftali, NY; Karma, NY; and The Drawing Center, NY, among others. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.
