Brenda Goodman “Hop Skip Jump” New Paintings at SIKKEMA JENKINS & CO.

James Kalm is finally able to makes his way to West Chelsea and bring viewers along for a walkthrough of “Hop Skip Jump” Brenda Goodman’s latest offering at Sikkema Jenkins. Seeing occasional pieces by Goodman over the years, it wasn’t until her one person show at Michael David’s Life on Mars Gallery in 2015, that your correspondent had an opportunity to see a large selection of her works together. Since then, Goodman’s career has been on the upswing, and in 2021-22 she was included in “On the Bowery” at Zürcher Gallery, an historic survey of artists who had lived and worked on or near the Bowery, curated by your reporter.
Goodman, who has been painting for over sixty years at this point, has never been categorized within a single style or movement continues to forge ahead in her own unique field of painterly endeavor. Using her encyclopedic knowledge of technique and modalities of painting, these works seem to sift through the history of modern painting, and separate out, those elements most useful to the artist for her present depictions. This program was recorded February 11, 2023. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk

I enjoy your mix of showcasing new and "older" artists, especially hearing their stories. More videos with artists talking about their artwork please!

Love her pieces...thanks for the video James.

Thanks for the usual VIP care and attention to yet another artist who is new to me, James. I like how you were ruminating about "classic American abstraction" (at 16:15) or even Park Ave. Cubists. Yes, there seems to be a quintessential American-ness to Brenda's works. Cara Tomlinson comes to mind too. Thanks as ever, and thank you Kate.

Thank you Kate! ❤

[@jackgalmitz]

Gorgeous work! Just magnificent creation of dimensions.

[@msolbakken]

I really like the work. She has a neat way of glazing and color exploring. Reminds me of Nozkowski with the quirky compositions. Her picture space seems particularly laid back with the pentimenti front and center. That is refreshing.

[@alisonamaryllis111]

Excellent. You always seems to show me what I need to see!

[@gavinyates9189]

🔥🎨❤️ I like Brendas work!!

[@jasonbrooks-studio]

Great artist, great human!

[@anawieder5003]

i completely disagree with anybody who pushes for more baby artists. I want to see more artists who;se careers blossomed past 4O. Those artists give me hope. Especially the womyn like Goodman and Bradford who stuck it out. This show is genius and so is she.

Nice painting 🖌️🎨

Jasper Johns - flagstones, Hans Hofmann - slabs American Modernism: Arthur Dove (1880-1946) NY, Marsden Hartely (1877-1943) Maine, Stuart Davis (1892-1964) NY Park Avenue Cubists - Albert Eugene Gallatin, George L.K. Morris, Suzy Frelinghuysen, and Charles B. Shaw - a nickname that highlighted their patrician backgrounds, affluence, and class separateness.

James, I absolutely love both of your channels and have been binge watching to catch up lol. I'm from Tennessee and can't get to New York often so I really do appreciate what you do. I notice that when you comment on a thickly applied impasto type of paint you will say the drying time could take months. If you haven't seen this Florida artist Justin Gaffrey you should check his work out. He also sells his own brand of paint which has a beautiful and rich pigment. Again, thank you sir for what you bring to us who can't get to the big Apple often enough, Derick.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@shaunm3206]

The first one ( one way or another?)gave me Howard Hodgkin vibes. In a good way.
