Trumpet Player Returns Painting by Zack Goulet

Painting: Acrylic, Oil on Canvas.

Inspired by battles in the astral plane, Goulet explores layering patterned shapes, allowing information from previous layers to inform the direction of layers to come.

Goulet thinks of his work as a comment on the making of handmade objects, in a digitally saturated world. Using intuition to solve compositional dilemmas, favoring figure/ground ambiguities, he honors playfulness and honesty. Trying to invent painting processes, he references printmaking and architecture, fusing polarizing patterns and shapes. He wants his work to be evidence of the pursuit of happiness.
