French painter, initiator, leader, and unswerving
advocate of the Impressionist style. He is regarded
as the archetypal Impressionist in that his devotion
to the ideals of the movement was unwavering
throughout his long career, and it is fitting that
one of his pictures--Impression Sunrise (Musée
Marmottan, Paris; 1872)--gave the group his name.

-Mik Godley
”
Mik Godley is a talented artist,
painter, and art-school lecturer from
Nottingham, United Kingdom. His
artwork is always interesting, well
thought out, and gorgeous, but does
not seem to have a set style. You can The Artist- Mik Godley
tell he is an artist that is highly driven
and motivated by his life and what is
around him. Much of his work he has
painted and recreated from digital
images that he has found in regards
to his life.
“For the first time ever, I began to
paint these picture perfect landscapes-
not landscapes in the purist sense, but
remote or ‘e-landscapes’ based on
the found jpegs. I became fascinated
with this ‘digital way of seeing’, where
pixels suggested brush-marks, the
jpeg’s low resolution often forming The Painting- Sketch of Wroclaw
abstract images (it says it’s that
mountain, but how can you tell? It
looks like a seascape!). Questioning His most recent project is the

information, our evolving relationship which seeks to examine issues of contemporary context of our evolving
