GOOD, Roy
Show info Hide info

Roy Good trained at the University of Canterbury’s Ilam School of Fine Arts, Ōtautahi, from 1963 to 1965, before moving to Tāmaki Makaurau. He was one of a group of Aotearoa artists—including Milan Mrkusich, Ian Scott, Geoff Thornley, and Gordon Walters—who in the 1970s eschewed local subjects in favour of non-objective painting. His works are characterised by bold geometry and a subtle modulation of colour that becomes increasingly apparent as one approaches a given work. Forms extend and retreat, sometimes literally, since Good often plays with relief. He is also known for his use of shaped supports of uncommon complexity.
