12 Mosaics - 28 November - 17 December 2023

The Chelsea Arts Club, 143 Old Church Street, Chelsea, London, SW3 6EB

12 mosaics from a series working principally with Venetian black golds and black and copper mosaic glass - reflective materials which play with changing facets of surface light - creating an ever changing rapport with the viewer.

The exhibition is, in part, an homage to the late, very great French artist Pierre Soulages (1919 - 2022) whose outstanding ‘beyond black’ paintings titled outrenoir have entranced Elaine since her art student days.

Les climats de 4 artistes Bourguignon May 2023 - March 2024

Atelier d’Art Elaine M Goodwin, Couches, Burgundy

An exhibition bringing together four artists who live and work in Burgundy.

Exhibiting alongside Elaine are the painters Christophe Ropion, Christian Dejeune and sculptor/painter Jean-Paul Longin.

Each artist will work under the title with its emphasis on the word climat.

This word is exclusive to the wines growing areas of Burgundy; each vine is planted in a small, very specific parcel of land, where the characteristics of the wine depend on the position (terroir) and specific soil characteristics. The resulting wines are always nuanced, capricious, and above all - exciting. Accordingly the four artists are dependent on their specific, chosen environment and their individual and explorative vision but are united under the same luminous light - unique to the Burgundy region.

L’ éphémère - L’éternel Saturday March 23 - saturday June 1st 2024

Galerie de L’Embarcadère 71300 Montceau-les-Mines

A large and comprehensive exhibition of Elaine’s work in the gallery of the cultural centre of the town of Montceau-les-Mines in Burgundy.

The exhibition explores some of the meanings behind the artist’s work created over the last 10 years. The works seek to answer many of the perennial questions artists have asked for centuries...What are we? Why are we here? What in fact is the meaning of life? These existential questions that underpin our lives are answered in her unique and personal way through the reflective materials of her medium of mosaic : gold and glass.

She uses a variety of images to explore these profound questions; the vine, the human figure; the sea and Nature in general.

The answers shimmer before our eyes; intriguing, ever changing, challenging and essentially celebratory.

Reflection / Absorption with Dugald McInnes 17 June 2023 - March 24 2024

Atelier d’Art Elaine M Goodwin, Couches, Burgundy

An exhibition bringing together the work of two artists at the forefront of contemporary mosaic art.

A visual dialogue between artists who use mosaic to reinterpret the original spirit of mosaic to give new insights into understanding the human condition.

Elaine’s inspiration originates from viewing ancient Byzantine mosaics.She realized that a powerful potential lay within its technique - with its light reflecting materials of glass and golds - to explore her questionings on life.

Dugald’s work is inspired by his deep love of archaeology and geology. He explores the fragility and precarious nature of our earth’s crust with its underlying geological forces that continually shape the land on which we all live.

Both artists wish to affirm that their art is one of immeasurable beauty, power and wonder: Elaine revealing its sublime, elusive qualities and Dugald showing its profound, earthly aspects.
