Rachel Goodyear, a Salford-based artist, is having her work featured at the Salford Museum & Arts Gallery.
Originally held at the Grundy Art Gallery in Blackpool, the exhibition has moved to Goodyear’s home roots, making this the artist’s first ever major solo exhibition in Salford.
Lindsay Taylor, Curator of the University of Salford Art Collection commented: “This exhibition is a kind of homecoming for Rachel. Her work has rightly been recognised nationally and internationally and this is a long overdue solo show in the city she has been committed to for over 20 years”
Alongside a set of existing works, the exhibition, titled “Stirrings” also features new large-scale drawings and a new animation. Experimenting with scale, Goodyear has made her largest and most detailed drawings to date. With heightened detail, each piece holds an ambiguous balance of pleasure and discomfort, bodies contort, a wolf-pack is tangled into a single entity of snarls.
Rachel said: “There are so many aspects of this commission that have been very special for both me and my practice.
“It has given me the opportunity to push the boundaries of my drawings – exploring a larger and more immersive scale than ever before – whilst realising and producing the animation ‘Hole’ which has been a vision running through my mind for a number of years”
The Exhibition will be on display until February 26th 2023 with no entry cost.
