Brent Godfrey uses the painting process to translate objects, figures and landscapes into physical metaphor.
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.
