Conrad Jon Godly

Conrad Jon Godly is a Swiss artist born in 1962. After graduating from the Basel School of Art in Switzerland, he moved to the United States, where he produced his first photographic works. Perfecting his technique, in the early 2000s he produced photographic prints for international magazines and advertisements. It wasn't until he returned to the mountains of his childhood in Graubünden in 2004 that he switched to painting, making high mountain landscapes his preferred and almost exclusive subject. Exporting his work to Asia, he set up a new studio in Japan in 2016, where he was honored by Kyoto's oldest Zen temple, the Ryosokuin-Kenninji. His work is the subject of numerous exhibitions around the world, including in Taiwan, Seoul and Singapore, as well as at the Tony Wuethrich Gallery in Basel, Switzerland, and the Shibunkaku Gallery in Kyoto. His work is also included in public collections, including Swiss banks such as the Swiss National Bank, CS Banque and United Banks of Switzerland.
