Mik Godley

Studio B7

Mik Godley’s project Considering Silesia is a painter’s exploration of Anglo-German identity, a search engine journey through internet to canvas across his mother’s contested land, examining conflicting heritages, cultural history, displacement, and migration, with contemporary social and political resonances.

These themes are observed in the context of our evolving relationship with the internet and accessible technologies (our digital ‘way of seeing’), focusing on ‘virtual expeditions’ to his mother’s homeland and the analogue activity of painting on his iPad and mobile phone.

Considering Silesia has been exhibited from Baltimore to San Francisco, London, and Zagreb, receiving significant critical acclaim.
