About Sam Golding

B. Melbourne Australia 1964Rowed for Australia at the 1990,1991 and 1994 World Championships.(Photograph: by my uncle Frank Ryan c.1969)My work is an exploration of aspects of painting where the photograph and multimedia cannot follow - texture, sculpted forms and intense glazed colours. Some are based on studies - like the bijinga of Utamaro where the shaped form of the canvas and scale contrast the tight form and flat shaped required by the registered printing block. the use of the ukiyo e image is an interest that develops from a gap in western art teaching for the tenets of Japanese art and modes of expressions. This despite the adoption of modes from these images from the 1850's on in Van Gogh some impressionists and then the Nabis. .I enjoy that tension between paint surface and the painted form and want to explore that uneasy equilibrium.
