Joe Goode's 'Flat Screen Nature' exhibition at Michael Kohn Gallery presents new seascapes on fibreglass panels
Joe Goode, a Los Angeles artist in his seventies, is showcasing a fresh collection of seascapes on large fiberglass panels at the Michael Kohn Gallery on Highland Avenue. The exhibition, named 'Flat Screen Nature', features pieces created between 2013 and 2014, such as 'So Still', 'Sail Away', 'Cruising', 'Know Means No', and 'Honk If You See Jesus'. Each artwork comprises two horizontal panels with brushed surfaces that reveal depth, and Goode has intentionally damaged them with a grinder to expose their honeycomb cores. Additionally, the show includes selections from his 1977 charcoal drawings and the 'X-ray series' from 1976. His art, which embodies 'neutrality-style art', interacts with both landscape painting and monochrome traditions while alluding to digital screens.
