Raft (2008) Painting by Steph Goodger

Steph Goodger was born in Kent, England, in 1974. Her studio was based in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, from 2000 to 2001. She exhibited with Galerie De Roos Van Tudor, the Netherlands, until 2006.
In 2004 she moved to the Bordeaux region of France and created the gallery Salon des Fables with Julie McDermott and Julian Rowe. In 2007 Salon des Fables subsequently became the title of an Association which takes exhibitions to new venues, in France initially.
I am currently inspired by the work of the Renaissance alchemists, who tried with metaphysics to explain the universe in single, coherent theories. I admire these brave attempts and also aim to create a sense of a complete world on the canvas.
There are often two kinds of space in my paintings, one material and one ethereal. The ethereal is found through descent in most cases. The things that happen beneath, that one can never see but only imagine, are contrasted with things that are, or can be, known. For painting I find this is a very rich territory to work within
