New Work 2020 – Heather Goodwind

I just added four new series (67 works in total!) to my portfolio website.

Series 30 has 50 each 16×20 inch works on canvas. These were all stretched on board with masking tape and bulldog clips for painting, and are now stored in an archival box with PH-neutral interleaving paper. The image quality on these is amazing because I documented them with a flatbed scanner. I’ve also started posting them for sale in my online store, and will continue to upload new ones over the next couple of months. This is what they look like once they are stretched and framed:

Series 29 has five each 4×6 foot canvases. The photos don’t do justice to the originals because I had to provisionally document them with my phone camera, but I will have them properly documented by my favorite local professional photographer as soon as it is safe to do so. I also made a time-lapse video of Series 29 #1.

Series 28 was a big commission for the lobby of a residential apartment building on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. There are two paintings in total, though one is a triptych (made up of three canvases hung close together as a group). I hope to have installation photos in the near future, and will do a full post on the commission then.

Series 27 was a fun commission of six small works for a private collector. They sent me their favorite images of my existing works and a very loose set of parameters: a size, a substrate, and a desire to see something recognizable in each image (ie: not pure abstraction), along with the words “minimal”, “colorful”, and “whimsical”. I otherwise had complete freedom, and made ten new works from which they could choose six for the commission.

These are the images of my existing artworks they wanted the new works to emulate:
