About
Bryant Goetz (b. 1988) is a painter based in the Pacific Northwest. Working primarily in oil and mixed media, he often favors large canvases for their confrontational presence. His work explores the darker and more complex aspects of emotion through portraiture and the figure. Bright colors and raw, childlike marks frequently collide with softer, more traditional forms, creating tension between vulnerability and aggression.
Drawing on his formal training while also embracing experimentation and unlearning, Goetz’s paintings shift between refinement and rawness. He views painting as a space for paradox — challenging yet playful, beautiful yet unsettling.
