As an art editor I receive countless submissions. A majority of them aren’t for Art Nouveau. Sometimes it seems as if artists aren’t reading the site. If you browsed through Art Nouveau for two minutes you’d get a pretty solid gist of the type of work we are looking for. Thank whatever or whomever you pray to that Yis Goodwin aka NoseGo knew who he was submitting to. The Philadelphia based artist recently introduced his artwork to us and we’re glad to share it.
Vibrant, authentic, street and contemporary, Yis’ work has a visual feel that I compare to a mix between Jean-Michel Basquiat and Blaine Fontana. There is a unique mix of play, pop, art history and illustration that will attract any contemporary art buyer or lover. His designs feature an assemblage of patterns, vibrant colors and characters derived from his imagination and his surrounding environment.
Yis holds a B.F.A. in Film and Digital Video from the University of the Arts and also studied illustration at Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Fleisher Art Memorial, and The University of the Arts. Take a closer look at some of Yis’ work below.
