I am a painter, art-school lecturer, and iPad artist."Godley has become one of the best, and best known, exponents of drawing using iPhone and iPad apps in the region and this work ably demonstrates that his drawing talent is just as expressive on a screen as it is on paper or canvas."Mark Patterson, Nottingham Post, 2015Review of “The Movement of the Line” NCN Lace Market Gallery"Whether he's sitting behind an easel or an iPad, Mik Godley is one of the most talented artists working in Nottingham today. Period."Kayt Hughes, interview in Left Lion, 2014"Enigmatic landscapes charged with psychological resonance…. An impressive combination of methodical observation and technical draughtsmanship matched by a mature understanding of the medium and just the right amount of spontaneity and freedom give these studies a real sense of urgency, energy and vitality."Matt Price, critic (Flash Art, Art Review), saatchi.gallery.co.uk, 2007Review of “Parade: Terra Incognita”, Angel Row Gallery"The building up of the image through thousands of small squares and dashes of acrylic paint gives these works a vibrancy of surface that is both intriguing and unnerving. There is a ghostliness about these paintings that both attracts and yet is candidly uncanny, cold and crisp like a detail in a story by M R James, apparently trivial but in fact exactly to the point."Peter Suchin, critic (Art Review, Frieze, Art Monthly)Untitled, 2007Review of “Greetings from Silesia”, Bend in the River"Mik Godley suggest[s] that pixelation is the pointillism of the twenty-first century. … Today's most famous photographic pixelator, Thomas Ruff, similarly attempts to touch the mysterious in his porn photos (though with more cynical subject matter), but to really make the leap into the uncanny you have to change medium as well. Godley's seductive and slightly sickly painting Ana takes us into this uncomfortable realm."James Westcott, artreview.com, 2008
