REFERENCE

p. 12, NZ Herald, 20 May 1985 Precise, minimal abstract art is also the style of Roy Good at Artis Gallery in High St, Auckland. His works have singularly beautiful surfaces, and the forms have the long, slender curves of lenses in profile. In nearly every work these curves are counterpointed by a sharp triangle, often in black.

The most inventive work is a diptych where the tall, sharp triangles are poised against a curve of blue and white and black. Pacific Corpration series 6 also breaks away from the tyranny of the rectangular frame to good effect. This is a small show of only eight works but it is one of considerable distinction. T J McNamara, 1985
