About Catherine GoodmanFor more than four decades, Catherine Goodman CBE has developed a unique visual language that communicates a powerful visionary response to her lived experience and memory. Goodman’s intensely expressive painting process uses strongly pigmented oil paint, brushwork, oil sticks, drips and washes to create atmospheric and immersive paintings which explore both figuration and abstraction.Central to Goodman’s artistic process is the act of drawing directly from life, her intimate knowledge of the old master painters and drawing from film, where she immerses in the legends of the modern cinema age. In Goodman’s words, “drawing can bring about a sense of unity and create a portal into other realms of consciousness." This daily practice roots her mark-making in observation and informs and enriches her paintings.Catherine Goodman’s role as an educator is integral to her artistic identity. Since graduating from art school, Goodman has been organizing drawing classes for the homeless and other community groups, demonstrating a longstanding commitment to social justice in art education. In 2000, this led her to co-establish the Royal Drawing School with HRH King Charles III, to address the increasing absence of drawing in art education and to give wider access to disadvantaged students.
