Go Back
Reuben Colley Fine Arts are proud to present Shadow and Light, the first solo exhibition in Birmingham by internationally collected artist Mark Godwin.
Mark was born and lived most of his early life in Birmingham. At the age of 21 he moved to London to further his artistic career, finally relocating to his current home in East Sussex, where he has his studio practice, just over 10 years ago.
Shadow and Light
This exhibition is less about specific, actual place, and more about place defined by shadow and light. These paintings are not transcripts of what I see, more like translations in terms of the medium of oil painting. Photographic details dissolve into painterly structures, and abstract tracts of paint merge into the landscape motif. The qualities of colour and gesture eventually ‘see beyond’ the image and assume autonomous aesthetic values.
Perhaps the best way to approach these paintings is to see them as a series of shifting scenes, with an indirect mention to, and appearance of truth.’

Shadow and Light – Miniatures Collection
Mark Godwin has presented these wonderful intimate paintings in very unique hand stained and waxed frame presentations. Each painting has a specific colour and finish to its individual frame, all completed by the artists own hand, adding that extra personal touch to these lovely small jewel like pieces. The catalogue gives not just the image size but also the overall framed size of each painting.
The larger paintings in this collection will be available as a separate catalogue
The exhibition launches on Saturday 13th October at 6.30 pm with a drinks reception in the company of Mark Godwin.
