Jeremy Goodding is a master of classical still life, best known for his striking and thoughtful paintings of pottery. His work transcends simple representation—each piece is a study in form, contrast, and restraint. Drawing inspiration from ceramics found across the globe, Goodding gives ancient vessels new voice through contemporary composition and timeless technique.

What sets Goodding apart is his intentional use of negative space. In his hands, emptiness becomes eloquent—framing the pottery not just as objects, but as icons of culture, history, and quiet beauty. There is never redundancy in his work; every painting is a fresh meditation, a balance of tension and tranquility.

Highly awarded and widely respected, Goodding’s work is marked by bold contrasts and subtle control. His pieces are minimal yet powerful, classical yet modern—allowing the simplicity of the subject to command space with quiet authority.

Now on view at Illume Gallery West, Jeremy Goodding continues to elevate still life painting with clarity, depth, and reverence for the global stories held within every vessel.
