    • About the artist

      Montreal-based artist Jennifer Goddard works in oils and multi-medium drawing. She focuses on the natural world and on the languages of the figure, drawing on 18 years studying classical dance. Her approach is either one of response or escape: the activist responds to society’s injustices and overarching themes; the escapist revels in pure colour, line and composition.

      A lifelong artist and largely self-taught, she studied for three summers (1975-78-81) at The Banff Centre, Alberta, and three stints at Studio Escalier in Paris and Argenton, France (2015-15-16). In the interim, she studied under various teachers while pursuing a career in advertising. In the 80’s and again starting in 2006, she has shown in many solo and group exhibitions and has work in private collections in Europe, Canada and the US.

    • MACRO - Abstracts

      For me, painting is about paying attention.Artists are generally categorized as figurative/realist or abstract, rarely both.This series came about because I experience a thousand tiny abstract moments when painting my figurative works. I selected some of these and explored them closely for micro moments that I then made macro. This travelling between the realist and abstract worlds enriches my process and artistic approach. It is exhilarating to dance in pure colour mixing, light and composition, using big brushes and voluptuous piles of paint.It injects a freedom that I carry back into my figurative work.It offers a release from the tightness and focus that comes from keen observation of a subject, and a respite from the tyranny of likeness.It remembers and relishes the joy.
