About this artwork
In Goulet’s 2021 body of work, the idea of what it means to “repair” something is informing his work. Employing techniques acquired from working at an art conservation shop, these layered and textural works reference excavated relics of past mark-making, and the subtle beauty of distressed textures like graffiti walls. By masking the surface of the painting and either intentionally or completely randomly revealing certain areas, interesting juxtapositions…
of shapes and colors appear that attempt to create a narrative within the picture plane.
As abstraction often references a spiritual essence of what it means to be human, Goulet’s paintings bring to question the significance of handmade physical art objects in a digitally saturated world. The hard edge “digital” boundaries between visceral, textural, pattern-making, create a kind-of dichotomy between science and mysticism.
