Product Description

Exhibition catalogue accompanying Peter Godwin: Space, Light & Time organised by Orange Regional Gallery. 

Peter Godwin | Space, Light & Time presents paintings and carborundum reliefs selected from the last two and half decades. This overdue survey marks Peter Godwin’s first exhibition in a public gallery and acknowledges the artist’s sustained vision and significant contribution to painting in Australia.

Godwin’s work is rooted in deep conversations with past painterly traditions, but it is also about conjuring presence through the act of painting. Returning repeatedly to the same few objects and spaces surrounding him; cuttlefish on a table, a lemon, light through a curtain or an owl’s eyes gleaming from the shadows, Godwin reminds us that meaningful and perennial subjects are always close at hand. He renders these economically in thin layers of tempera, oils and printing inks.

While his pigments are applied with a charismatic sense of ease, the potency at the heart of Godwin’s work lies in the way his calligraphic and expressive gestures are immediately eroded by their own transparency and translucence. 

Thanks to your support we can continue our mission to actively conserve and protect our natural, cultural, social and Indigenous heritage for future generations to enjoy.
