Henrik Godsk is currently showing at the Untitled Art Fair Miami, and his work has been recognized by Galerie Magazine as one of the eight artists from NADA and UNTITLED considered noteworthy for future attention.
“With a family history rooted in Denmark’s carnivalesque theme parks, Henrik Godsk grew up maintaining the folkloric panels on the festive park’s colourful rides – a task that eventually led the developing artist to design and paint his own motives. Studying art and literature in college, he had a slow build before beginning to publicly show his constructivist form of art in 2017, but his career has been on a rapid track ever since. Inspired by the modern art masters, particularly Amadeo Modigliani’s figures with long necks and flattened proportions and the abstracted forms and vibrant colours of the artists related to the Russian avant-garde, Godsk employs a simple graphic clarity and a retro colour palette to create exciting, eye-catching portraits and still lives. Displayed in a carousel-like structure with a group of his canvases in the gallery’s Untitled Art booth, his Protector painting constructs a classic symbolic form for an iconic female figure.”
