The artistic practice of the London based artist Patrick Goddard (b. 1984, London, UK) spans video, sculpture, installation, photography, painting and drawing. Through absurdist storytelling, Goddard explores a range of pressing issues, from ecology and the Anthropocene to racial politics, migration and urbanization. His politically charged works often feature a self-defeating black comedy to critique the complexities of modern life, undermining his attempts to generate personal and political integrity.

Goddard holds a BA Fine Art from Bath Spa university, a MFA Fine Art from Goldsmiths University and a PhD Fine Art Practice from Oxford University. His multidisciplinary works have been exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions in multiple international institutions, museums and galleries including Tate Modern and BFI London Film Festival.
