These new works continue Godwin’s study of landscape, or more specifically, the local coastlines around Hastings and towards Rye, in East Sussex, where the artist lives. Godwin has a fascination with the intervention of the sea with the shoreline, and in particular how the local architecture and general marine apparatus has become weathered and eroded by the coastal climate.

Mark Godwin, Albion IX, mixed media on paper, 69 x 84cm,
£980 framed |
Godwin does not consider himself a topographical artist nor indeed are his paintings site specific. His work is not about showing natural representations, or even specific moments in time. He is interested in shapes and colours and painterly mark-making as visual metaphors, evoking an idea of landscape or creating feelings about a possible experience within the space. The multiplicity of associations within the composition makes viewing Godwin’s work unique to each individual.
