Combining varying degrees of abstraction and representation, he explores identity and memory, interpersonal relationships and social conventions.

Raised in the United States, Godfrey completed a Master’s degree then continued his painting education through postgraduate studies in Europe and the United States. He has participated in numerous local, regional and international museum and gallery exhibitions and mounted significant solo shows. Godfrey’s paintings have garnered awards and been published broadly.

FAWN SERIES

This series of paintings started with a single painting of a fawn that I encountered while hiking. Having several ideas of how to approach the subject, I decided to create several paintings. This evolved into a collection that is more about styles & techniques in painting than about a young deer.

ABSTRACT PAINTING IN PROCESS IN ART STUDIO BY CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN ARTIST BRENT GODFREY, UTAH PAINTER

Art does not exist within a bubble. It changes the spaces that it occupies, and is altered by its surroundings. This section shows snapshots of a small portion of my paintings in environments that they dwell in. My appreciation to the collectors and installers who have shared these images with me. Together, they are good examples of how art can transform environments and how paintings are altered by their surrounds.
