ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK




Miles Cleveland Goodwin’s upbringing in the American South is a recurring theme in his brooding paintings and sculptures. Goodwin draws parallels between the people he portrays, the rhythm of their rural ways of life, and the rugged landscapes that they inhabit. The artist frequently evokes themes of mortality, decay and solitude with a sense of phantasmagoric realism combined with a haunting stillness. Goodwin’s ‘Southern Gothic’ works conjure the ambivalent beauty of a  place that is both simultaneously desolate yet deeply soulful.

Goodwin lives and works in Georgia, USA. He graduated from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Oregon in 2007 with a BFA in painting and printmaking. His work has been featured in group exhibitions at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, the Grace Museum and the Amarillo Museum of Art among others and can be found in collections worldwide.
