Biography

George Goodnow is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice ranges from painting and public murals, to sculpture and site-specific installations. Across their practice, Goodnow's work focuses on relationships between people and built environments to explore themes of memory, emotion, materiality and queerness. Their works utilise pattern and realism to document and deconstruct everyday moments and shift experiences of space. By fabricating fictional architectures and objects, or adjusting existing architecture, they consider how spaces reflect, orientate and hold bodies.


Goodnow has exhibited nationally and internationally, including at Ki Smith Gallery (New York), Science Gallery (Melbourne), Waiting Room - Sydney Sexual Health Centre (Sydney), Wollongong Art Gallery (Wollongong), Platform Arts (Geelong), The University of Newcastle Gallery (Newcastle) and Art Not Apart (Canberra). They have been commissioned to create public artwork for Collingwood Yards, Sydney WorldPride, the City of Melbourne and many local councils..
