Description

The Catalogue of Imaginary Beings, Plate No.239 throw pillow from artist, Johanna Goodman.


The Catalogue of Imaginary Beings is an ongoing series of work begun in 2015 that sprung from over 20 years of portraiture and collage work. Now at over 200 plates the body of work seeks to explore a range of themes in popular culture including the role of the individual in fashion, in history, in artistic imagination and more broadly, the collective consciousness. The body of work draws its inspiration from a wide spectrum of sources including Magical Realism, Surrealism, and Symbolism. And more specifically references such as cultural artifacts as talismans, idols, totems and all of the material detritus that surrounds all of us all of the time. These characters are composites embodying notions of "the warrior", vulnerability, industry, the universal and the personal. They reference these identities as they've been depicted historically through art, literature, and commerce.
