The prolific artist Nuala Goodman presents her fascinating work in the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice until January 9, 2011. Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1962, she studied fine arts at the National College of Art and Design in her hometown, which gave her the foundation to start exploring the world of art and design.
Concerned with the intersections between different forms of expression such as art, design and fashion, Goodman has been combining different disciplines without fear and since she took her first steps in the arts,. And thanks to her interesting and fruitful interdisciplinary procedure, Goodman has been able to test not only her artistic skills, and ability to think big, but also helped break down the idea that a strict separation of creative disciplines somehow legitimizes artistic practice.
With the exhibition “Gardens” which opened at the Palazzo Fortuny on September 4th, the artist offers us entry to her unique imagery, splashes of color and rich textures. Equipped with an incredible sensitivity to color and composition, Goodman combines different materials and colors to create a complete installation which consists of work designed exclusively for this exhibition. Always keeping in mind the viewer, the exhibition provides an experience which is not just intellectual and is above all, sensory, inviting spectators to touch and explore it up close. Besides this, the exhibition features miscellaneous drawings, doodles and designs of the artist.
