Jay Ryan Book Signing 19th Dec from 12 – 4

RGG — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:12:04 +0000

We at the Richard Goodall Gallery are mighty big fans of poster genius Jay Ryan, and so it is not without due excitement that we announce the arrival of the good man himself to our Thomas Street gallery on the 19^th December for a unique book-signing event.

A collection of Jay’s favourite work from 2005-2008, ‘Animals and Objects in and Out of Water’ is a 144 page book which includes over 100 posters with accompanying text, an introduction by Andrew Bird and an essay by Joe Meno. All in all it’s a pretty cracking volume, and this is your chance to own a signed copy!

Ryan first learned to screen-print in 1995, and cut his print-making teeth making posters for his own band, those of his friends, and the many clubs they played at. Before long, Jay’s own Bird Machine Print Shop sprung to life in the basement of his apartment building, before moving above ground in 2002 thanks to the growing demand for its marvellous creations. Jay has since worked for bands including Arctic Monkeys, The Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie, The Doves, Interpol, Human League and Sonic Youth to name but a few.

Not only will you have the opportunity to see this pillar of poster-making in the flesh, but there will also be posters old and new on display, original art work, and a friendly festive atmosphere in which to enjoy it all!

THE ART OF JOHN LENNON 24th November – 12th December

RGG — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:12:55 +0000

Some of you may have heard of the Beatles. You may recall that this small-time, little-known global phenomenon of a band included a man by the name of John Lennon. Ok ok, I’ll stop being ironic and get to the exciting point. From the 19th November, The Richard Goodall Gallery will be exhibiting a collection of Lennon’s art which will offer art collectors and Beatles fans alike the chance to view around 50 pieces by the artist, including eleven original drawings on loan from Yoko Ono. Presenting a unique insight into the life of Lennon, this collection is an opportunity to see first-hand the significant role which art played in this musician’s life.

Before achieving worldwide fame with the Beatles – one of the most successful bands in music history – Lennon had in fact set out on the road to becoming an artist. For three years (1957 – 1960) he attended the Liverpool Art Institute, and though the Beatles soon became more than a full-time occupation, John never abandoned his love of drawing.

Lennon had been collecting and preserving drawings which he felt were particularly important throughout his life, and it was from this collection that Yoko Ono began releasing limited edition fine art prints following her husband’s death. With the aim of establishing John as a significant artist of his time, many of the subsequently released images have now become iconic.

Primarily working in pencil, pen or Japanese Sumi Ink, Lennon’s drawings are ‘signed’ using a patented stamp known as a chop, often used by artists in the Orient. The stamp, reading “Like a Cloud. Beautiful Sound” was applied by Lennon himself to each edition. Each limited edition print on sale at the exhibition displays this unique hallmark.

Not to be missed, drop into our High Street Gallery from the 14th November for a rare insight into the life of a legend.

Richard Goodall Gallery at the Affordable Art Fair 22nd – 25th October Battersea Park, London

RGG — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:50:17 +0000

The Affordable Art Fair has been leading the charge for accessible art since its launch in 1999, and is one of the principal UK showcases for affordable art, priced between £50 and £3,000. 120 carefully chosen galleries from across Europe and the UK will be exhibiting contemporary drawings, paintings, photography, prints and sculpture. We figure it’s only right that one of those carefully chosen galleries should be us!

Marking the Affordable Art Fair’s 10th Anniversary, the Richard Goodall Gallery will be in attendance exhibiting the wonderful works of a number of our favourite artists including Ron Job, Donald Topp, Central Station, Kendra Binney and Niagara.

With the Spring Collection 2009 attracting over 22,500 visitors, this Autumn Collection is set to be the accessible art event of 2009 and (luckily) you don’t have to be an art genius or a multi-millionaire to enjoy it. For free entry to the Affordable Art Fair, pop in to Thomas Street to pick up your flyer!

New Exhibition – Artist and Repertoire – Drawings by Mike Smith, head of Columbia Records, 19th October

RGG — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:12:40 +0000

Not content with being, as he puts it, “a kid from Birkenhead who ends up signing a few decent bands and then gets given Columbia Records to run”, Mike Smith is also a pretty brilliant artist. Having drawn inspiration (see what I did there?) from pretty much every gig he’s been to, it’s been our pleasure to wade through thousands of Smith’s images (head of Columbia Records = a whole lot of gigs) to bring together an incredible selection for your viewing delight.

Beginning his illustrious career as a talent scout for MCA Music in 1988, Smith later joined EMI Music in 1992 and rose rapidly through the ranks due to impeccable taste and superlative scouting skills. Having signed Supergrass, Doves, Avalanches, Starsailor, The Libertines, The White Stripes, Gorillaz and Teenage Fan Club before moving on to assume his current role as MD of Columbia Records, it seems Smith is something of a talent guru. Did I mention he’s also an artist? A really good one?

Produced as fine art prints, the collection for this exclusive exhibition spans 20 years of musical magic and includes the likes of Bob Dylan, Blur, Faithless, Elbow, The Doves, Kasabian, The Gorillaz and many more besides.

The first of its kind and a unique event, this exhibition should on no account be missed, forgotten, stood up or otherwise unseen. If you’re the thorough type, you can even check out Smith’s enviable blog here.

New! Guy Burwell Posters now available

RGG — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:29:15 +0000

Guy Burwell has been drawing since the age of 5, so we reckon he knows his stuff when it comes to incredible posters. Unique style, dynamic compositions and unfailing imagination make Burwell’s posters a joy to behold. And it’s not just us that think so – Kings of Leon, Flight of the Concords, Nickelodeon and many other very cool people have knocked on the door of Burwell’s genius with marvellous results.

Burwell began his career in St. Louis, Missouri before moving to Oregon, where his unique black and white posters were soon in demand. Advertising national and local acts, Burwell’s talents didn’t long go unnoticed and he was soon adding album cover illustration, advertising, clothing graphics and magazine work to his portfolio. He’s even on Guitar Hero III.

Check out Burwell’s creations on the website or step in to Thomas Street to find out what all the fuss is about.

“Smart stuff. With heart.” Guy Burwell

NOW AVAILABLE – Justin Bua

RGG — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:57:57 +0000

Inspired by urban life in New York City, Justin Bua’s work is the result of a lifetime’s fascination with the vibrant street-life of that iconic city. Bua effortlessly combines classical art training with his own unique style – known as Distorted Urban Realism – to reveal the essence of urban life in NYC.

Bua began his artistic career in commercial art after studying illustration at the Art Centre College of Design in California. Having supplemented his formal education with street graffiti and break-dancing, Bua went on to design everything from skateboards to advertising campaigns. Currently teaching figure drawing at the University of Southern California, Bua remains an innovative driving force in both commercial and fine art arenas with a worldwide fan base.

Infinitely collectible and just-plain-fantastic, Bua’s work is available now at Richard Goodall Gallery and at www.richardgoodallgallery.com

Coming Soon! Donald Topp- September 26th

From 25^th September the Richard Goodall Gallery will be hosting a brand new exhibition Topp This! Featuring over sixty new works by the US artist, the exhibition celebrates icons of the 21^st century, rendered in Topp’s signature style.
