Goff Danter

''THE MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD HAVE NO ORDER....AND NO END'' : Dylan Thomas. Goff was born in 1949 in the small South Wales town of Brynmawr, where his artistic interests were first noticed and encouraged by his very supportive art teacher at the local grammar school.

During this time, his ability was evident. Even as a schoolboy he won national art prizes and exhibited in places such as Carnaby Street in the ‘swinging sixties’ and also in Geneva, Switzerland.

Goff works from a studio in his native town of Brynmawr and continues to appreciate the direct links with his ‘origins’ which provide the stimulation for the majority of his paintings.

This is enhanced by his particular style of painting on heavily textured canvas. His expressive forms are distinctive, yet allow a degree of personal interpretation. Paintings are about his thoughts and memories, illustrated with references to the places he knows so well.

He is in a very unusual position as an artist. Due to popularity, his work has steadily risen in value and continues to do so. New paintings are eagerly anticipated by an avid group of collectors and enthusiasts, regularly being sold out within a day or even hours.

Many now regard these paintings as sound investment opportunities for the future, and clamour for his originals. In order to cater for the needs of a much wider audience and to demonstrate the diversity of his skills, Goff's paintings include nostalgic Welsh landscape, industrial and fairground art.

To ensure everyone has an opportunity to own a Goff Danter, limited edition prints are available in collections of 50 on fine art paper. A selected limited edition range of his work is published by leading fine art publishers Senecio Editions of Oxford, UK.

Supply of Goff’s originals is limited, due to demand. In order to offer his customers choice he constantly provides a diverse range of images and subjects to cater for a wide range of collectors. His latest range was "The Racing Game" which is a range of paintings committed to his love of horseracing.
