Stephen Goodfellow; A short
biography
In 1967, when
Stephen was fourteen, he and his family moved to Monterrey, Mexico. Here he
enjoyed a freedom hitherto not experienced; it was in Mexico that Goodfellow
seriously started to sketch. At the age of fifteen (1969,) 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, he obtained a
Diploma for Art and Design (BFA) at Hull Regional College of Art in the North-East of
England in 1974.
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 has purchased three of
Goodfellow's paintings Even before the advent of 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 radiative image. By 1999,
Goodfellow had launched into Macropointillism a technique similar to Micropointillism, but
executed with sizable dabs of primary color on large
canvases. More Information
