Kerlin Gallery, Dublin; Private collection David Godbold was born in England in 1961 and moved to Ireland in the early 1990s. He studied at Goldsmith````s College, London and also holds a PhD in Fine Art and Visual Culture from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin. Godbold````s work is predominately defined by an investigation into the production and circulation of visual imagery in both high and low culture. He works in a variety of different media often utilising and reworking imagery from sources as diverse as Disney cartoon characters to religious and landscape painting from art history. This redrafting produces a droll humour, with the comic element heightened by Godbold````s clever use of text whether this is directly incorporated with the image or in the title of the work. Godbold is represented by the Kerlin Gallery in Dublin and has exhibited widely in a number of locations worldwide including the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London (1988), the Galerie Nathalie Pariente, Paris, (1999) the Galerie Kusseneers, Antwerp (2005), and the Jack Hanly Gallery, San Franciso (2006). His work forms part of numerous public collections in Ireland including the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Trinity College Dublin and the Office of Public Works. Godbold was awarded the prestigious PS1/MoMA International Studio Residency, New York in 1999-2001. Estimate: €6,000 - €8,000
