Conrad Jon Godly “Inside”

Gallery Shibunkaku

This event has ended.

The Swiss-born Conrad Jon Godly was first trained as a painter before pursuing a professional photographer’s career for over a decade. In his mature years, he returned to the medium of oil painting, and has concentrated on the representation of the Alps with daring and powerful brushstrokes and a minimum pallet in the past ten years. Following the inner voice of the mountains, his painting methodology is in great sympathy with that of the genre of sansui painting (the Chinese-style landscape painting) that the art historian and critic Yamashita Yuji addresses his works as ‘sansui oil paintings’.

As Godly’s second exhibition with Shibunkaku, the gallery is proud to present his signature Alps series of various dimensions, alongside the latest paintings of waterfalls marking the artist’s departure for a new stage in his artistic career.
