Original Description
"Currants" by Richard Goodwin is a vibrant celebration of organic forms and textural richness, exemplifying the artist’s signature fusion of sculpture and painting. Created during Goodwin’s exploration of "architectural biology," the work transforms humble currants into bold, almost architectural subjects throbbing with life. Thick impasto strokes and a palette oscillating between earthy ochres and jewel-like reds create a tactile, dimensional quality that bridges still life and abstraction. Goodwin’s background in avant-garde Australian art collectives like Inhibodress in the 1970s informs this piece’s radical approach to domestic objects, positioning it as a critical link between postmodern assemblage and contemporary material-based practices. The painting’s dynamic tension between growth and containment echoes his larger-scale public installations, making it a microcosm of his cross-disciplinary philosophy that redefined Sydney’s art scene in the 1980s-90s.
For interior settings, "Currants" demands a space where its visceral energy can harmonize with modernist or organic design schemes. Install it in a minimalist office with raw concrete walls to amplify its textural drama, or juxtapose it with mid-century furniture in a dining room where burnt orange accent pillows or a sculptural Ficus Lyrata plant would echo its chromatic warmth. The ideal viewing height is 145-150cm from floor to center for domestic spaces, allowing its dimensional brushwork to interact with changing light. For smaller reproductions (under 80cm wide), cluster them in a salon-style arrangement with black-and-white architectural sketches to extend Goodwin’s built-environment narrative. Avoid high-gloss frames—opt for matte black floater frames or unfinished timber surrounds that complement the painting’s raw materiality without competing with its organic crescendos.
