Michael Godard's world of art invites the viewer into his lighthearted perspective of life that surrounds us all, mirroring our lives through martinis adorned with animated olives, drunken grapes and dancing strawberries, as well as his own vices of gambling and the good life. Godard's unique portrayal of fun is an exciting combination of imagination and often subtle humor which evokes and engages the creative side in "Olive" us. Paintings depicting inebriated grapes, gangster olives, flirtatious strawberries and flaming dice have taken the conservative art world and turned it on its head, redefining art as we know it, always with a delightfully slap-stick punch line. A documentary on his life won awards when it was shown on the independent film festival circuit and his recent book “Don’t Drink and Draw” won the Art Book of the Year award.
