Berry Campbell is pleased to present an exhibition by John Goodyear (b. 1930).  This important show will feature over twenty paintings, sculptures, and drawings from six decades of Goodyear's career.  The show opens on November 25, 2015 and runs through January 2, 2016 with an opening reception on Thursday, December 10 from 6 to 8 PM.

 

In a career that spans more than six decades,  John Goodyear has utilized painting, drawing, light, optics, installation, and heat to engage his audience and recontextualize the viewer’s present observation. These shifting views created throughout his career reveal a body of work that lends itself to both reflection on the inner self and discovery of the outside world. Goodyear said it simply and best: “Art makes one see, what one sees makes art.”

 

John Goodyear was born in Los Angeles, California in 1930 and later moved to Grosse Ile, Michigan. In 1947 he won a full tuition scholarship to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, graduating with a Bachelor in Design in 1952. In 1954 he received his Masters of Design from the University. Following graduation he immediately was drafted into the U.S. Army and served two years in Japan, where his wife, Anne Dixon, whom he met and married at college, joined him. His service in Japan would have an important impact on his work. Japanese architecture and Zen Buddhism led to the sparse ambiguity that would go on to characterize his work
