Jules de GoedeTracing the Black Hole 16 June - 23 July 2006 View online catalogue approx 5mb (requires adobe pdf reader)
“I do not mean by beauty of form such beauty as that of animals or pictures, but straight lines and circles, and the plane solid figures which are formed out of them by turning lathes, rulers and measurers of angles; for these I affirm to be not only relatively beautiful, like other things, but eternally and absolutely beautiful, and they have peculiar pleasures…” Plato Philebus
Jules de Goede was born in Rotterdam, Holland in 1937. At 19 he left Holland for Australia, where he held three one-person shows and took part in some 30 shows. At the age of 28, de Goede relocated to England and formulated his signature "black hole" concept, producing paintings with the aid of hollow tubes which allowed him to work below the surface of the canvas. Several shows and much attention followed, and de Goede soon found himself occupying studio space alongside Peter Sedgeley and Bridget Riley at St. Katherine's Dock. Following the purchase of the dock two years later for development, de Goede, together with 32 other artists, moved to Stepney Green and set up studio space. As resident artist there, de Goede initiated open studios, a concept now widely used throughout the world. In 1974 De Goede was selected by the Arts Council of Great Britain as one of four young Dutch artists to show at the Serpentine Gallery in London. In 1972, he was invited to teach at Middlesex University in the Fine Art Department where he remained as a senior lecturer until 2003. He held a one-person show at the OXO Gallery in London in 1982, was a Jerwood Prize Finalist in 1996 and has shown with the London Group on a regular basis since 1992.
