Member type: Artist

I am...: a young artist at the beginning of my career looking into ways of gaining experience and broadening my practise.

About my artwork: My paintings are often psychological portraits which incorporate a large proportion of found visual material from past and present alongside riffs on the myths and work of other artists. The aim is to produce contemporary scene paintings that respond to the complex current social climate and the affects this has on the individual.

Artists I like: Mattias Weischer, Titian, Goya, Bonnard, Neo Rauch, Peter Doig, Michael Andrews, Rui Matsunaga.

Interests: Alongside painting I have a huge interest in music, films, books (I'm currently reading The Flounder by Gunter Grass, other favourites of mine are The Quiet American, Slaughterhouse 5 and Catch 22). I also love walking, particularly up a hill or on a beach on a clear winters day.

The centre of the artworld is: another city

Thanks for your comments.
I believe your curating and organising an exhibition with Richard Meaghan to which you've kindly invited me to participate. (Kapellmeister in London).
After my show I'm going to start working on it. For my sins I'm trying to get my Galerie here in Germany involved, pushing to try and get the show over here. Just got to strike at the right moment!

At 12:44pm on 24th January 2008, Emma Swainson said…: i've had a look at John Goto and I agree that his work is really historically influenced. that's what i find frustrating about some of the art around at the moment, like Tracy Emin for example, because I don't get that historical reference from it, that nod of appreciation to the Masters that I think comes from a good art piece. That's just my opinion, though...
