Far from brutal, Goodman's way of painting is highly poetic…
Primitive? Crude?
I marvel at his lyricism and beauty.
- Prof Norbert Lynton
Gary Goodman is a painter and a poet. His imagery is resoundingly direct, unbothered by artistic self-consciousness and politeness; unrefined, unmannerly yet sensitive. He simply wishes to say 'hello' to the world as it passes him by.
