Getting to Know: Catherine Goodman

12 March 2025

Inside her exhibition at our New York gallery, Catherine Goodman met with a group of young people from Culture for One to talk about her new body of work. ‘Catherine Goodman. Silent Music’ presents a series of new, large-scale paintings by the British artist, where her characteristically expressive brushwork yields animated surfaces that pulse with the dynamic energy of their making. For Goodman, the studio is a place of spiritual meditation. Each painting represents an act of intimate transmutation—a way for her to turn closely held memories and personal vulnerabilities into newfound stability.

The film is produced in partnership with Culture For One, a non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of New York City children and young adults living in foster care by providing them with arts opportunities and exposure to local cultural communities. ‘Getting to Know’ is a video series exploring the work and careers of the foremost artists of our time through the lens of creative students and community groups.
