About the Item

Show stopper! Own one of Stephen Goodfellows works from his whimsical painting series Forgeries. Goodfellow created this larger than life acrylic painting on canvas using his Primary Micropointillism technique. Work dimensions: 68w x 1.75d x 44h Born in Southampton, England on August 31st 1953, Goodfellow has lived in Nigeria, England, Denmark and Mexico before he settled in Detroit, Michigan In 1967, when Stephen was fourteen, he and his family moved to Mexico. Here he enjoyed a freedom to sketch. At the age of fifteen he applied for and was accepted to East Ham Technical College (Foundation Course,) in London, England. With a full grant and awarded for exceptional merit. In 1975 Goodfellow came to Wayne State University in Detroit to pursue his Post graduate degree. He graduated from Wayne State University in 1977 an M.F.A. having concentrated on painting and printmaking. During his studies at Wayne State University, Stephen discovered that it was possible to transfer his primary color printing technique to conventional surfaces. This technique is called Primary Micropointillism. Micropointillism uses only the primary colors (yellow, red and blue,) which are applied to the surface in small spatters of color. By using different intensities of these three colors one can produce an almost limitless palate of colors. Several examples of these works have been acquired by the Detroit Institute of Art and further work was recently in the "Interventions" Exhibition at the DIA in 1995. This institution owns three of Goodfellow's paintings Even before the World Wide Web, Stephen demonstrated that the principles of Micropointillism are perfectly suited for the electronic medium; that the manipulation of primary colors make for a seamless transition between the reflective and the image.
