Bio

Gawain Godwin is a painter and printmaker,  who is interested in the exploration of alternative or imagined worlds.
 
Gawain studied Critical Fine Art Practice at Brighton University and Fine Art Painting at Norwich University of the Arts.

Gawain Godwin's paintings and coloured drawings suggest the sort of landscapes that drift into your consciousness between sleeping and waking. 

The strong sense you get of the painter's hand throws you directly into his visual imagination, softly coloured and airy but with moments of sharpness and humour, biomorphic shapes bulge and extend upwards and sideways, suggesting fullness and fruitfulness.

  Rounded forms that could be trees, sinuous verticals that could be stalks or trunks, swirl around the canvases in a relaxed fashion. It is almost as though you are looking into a tank of slowly mutating aquatic beings that drift towards you, only to warp and melt away, leaving a trace of residual colour in their wake.
