Patrick Goddard creates video, publications, drawing, performance and installation. His politically loaded and narrative based works undermine themselves with a self-defeating black comedy as they chart the artist’s fumbled attempts to create a personal and political integrity.
Goddard’s recent solo exhibitions include ‘Trip to Eclipse’ at Matt’s Gallery, London, 2020; ‘Real Estates’ Seventeen, 2019; ‘Go Professional’ Seventeen, 2017; ‘Looking for the Ocean Estate’ Almanac Projects, London, 2016; ‘Gone To Croatan’ at Outpost Gallery, Norwich, 2015; ‘Revolver II’ at Matt’s Gallery, London, 2014. Goddard completed an MFA at Goldsmiths University in 2011 and recently completed a doctorate at Oxford University, in Fine Art practice.
Goddard will be taking part in the British Art Show 9, touring to four destinations in the UK throughout 2021-22.
