Thanks Brian - that's good of you to say so - but this is an iPad imitating a pencil. Good fun though!

About my artwork
The Über-project "Considering Silesia" seeks to examine issues of mixed heritage (where this may contain conflict), cultural memory and identity and the subject of displacement and migration. These themes are specifically observed in the contemporary context of our evolving relationship with the internet and new media (our digital “way of seeing”) focusing on 'virtual expeditions' to my mothers' homeland (Lower Silesia) and the analogue activity of painting.

Please go to "Photo Albums" (top left of page) to view in sequence

Artists I like

Interests
Painting - then most visual arts, good food, my kids, galleries and museums, art education, exhibition previews, chatting to friends in my local pub - usually about art(s), politics, art education and our struggles therein.
What exhibitions are good at the moment?

Edinburgh Art Festival "Nazi UFO's @ TotalKunst" published in Nottingham Evening Post



Art: Nazi UFOs



By mark patterson

UP there with finding Elvis on the Moon, revelations of alleged weird Nazi secrets have long been the stuff of torrid tabloid headlines. "Hidden Nazi Gold Found at Last!", "How Hitler used Black Magic" and so on. But if the National Enquirer has yet to announce conclusive evidence for the existence of Nazi…

The text - Staple Magazine Project - Mik Godley's "Considering Silesia" in print: STAPLE 71 - THE ART ISSUE - OUT NOW

I’d not really thought about it, perhaps tried not to think about it, but sometimes it hit me, and sometimes I’d remember things.



Like sitting at a table. Was it round? The light was low. Tante Gustel was small and old, sat on my right, I couldn’t understand her, my dad was at my left, translating. We leafed through the book of stamps, tissue in between sheet upon sheet of stamps, all the frowning profile of Hitler. She was concerned I’d… Continue

Report - Mik at the London Art Fair 09 with Bend In The River



This time we made sure the paintings got there. Last year the carriers took the paintings down to the art fair, then brought them back again - forgetting to do the actual delivery bit! This time I even brought the very last painting with me by train and taxi - taking no chances. A gorgeous brand-new watercolour portrait of "Sonia25bi" that sold within minutes of my getting it there to a guy from Miami, so that's another one of mine… Continue

Hi Mik, 

 

Thank you so much for accepting me :D and your lovely comments.. I haven't attempted digital work yet as I am terrified of computers so admire those who have embraced this media and will enjoy your blog later. I work in printing, wet (film) photography and pen.. I hope to improve my painting skills and will add some scribbles soon. If possible Marty suggested adding you to a private group to show some experimental work. Would you be ok with this? xxx Kat and your work is amazing.. I feel humbled when I look at your skill and techniques.. I hope we can chat about it further x

I don't run it, I just supply some of the info to the tweet master. In addition, we have a myspace page which is serving as a…See More
