Rendered in Godard's signature bold, saturated color palette, this piece carries the same theatrical exaggeration and craftsmanship collectors recognize across his work: it belongs to the more reflective, symbolic side of Godard's catalog, using his signature high-contrast palette to carry a quieter, more personal message than his party-culture work. As with all of Godard's limited editions, the piece rewards close viewing: he is known for tucking hidden names, dates, and initials into his compositions, giving collectors new details to find long after the piece is on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"godard-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs Risen signed and numbered?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signed and Numbered Risen print is hand-signed by the artist.

The painting's title suggests renewal and ascension, themes rendered here with the same bold color and confident composition Godard brings to every subject he paints, however solemn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGodard's own career has required its own kind of rising from difficult circumstances. Born March 10, 1963, and raised in Pasadena before settling in Las Vegas, he studied at ArtCenter College of Design and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and spent his twenties as a professional drummer in Las Vegas bands and as an architectural draftsman before a friend's martini-themed birthday commission redirected his entire career. That breakthrough came during a period when Godard was living in his car to support his children, and he built his earliest reputation trading paintings for meals at \"drink and draw\" nights in Las Vegas bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince his daughter's death, Godard has been an active supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which honored him in 2017, along with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Nevada Cancer Institute, and the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation, regularly visiting hospitals to paint alongside children being treated for serious illness. Risen carries that same message of hope directly into its subject matter and title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGodard's public career, built on the bold black backgrounds and saturated color he brings to this more solemn subject, earned him the nickname \"Rockstar of the Art World\" through television appearances on A\u0026amp;E's Criss Angel's Mindfreak and American Casino, along with collaborations including custom guitar artwork for Guns N' Roses. His 2006 book Don't Drink and Draw was named an Art Book of the Year, and a documentary about his life has won awards at multiple independent film festivals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRisen, quiet and hopeful, sits close to the emotional core of Godard's career, a reminder that the same artist known for personified olives and casino humor has also spent nearly two decades turning personal loss into public generosity and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGodard's inspirational works, taken together, form a smaller but meaningful counterweight to his better-known cocktail and casino paintings, and Risen sits comfortably alongside ArchAngel, Faith, and Planet of Peace in that quieter register. Ozzy Osbourne, who wrote the foreword to one of Godard's books, has spoken publicly about similar themes of resilience, and Godard's charitable partnerships continue that same spirit, turning a personal tragedy into nearly two decades of ongoing generosity toward children facing serious illness. Godard's television appearances on A\u0026amp;E's Criss Angel's Mindfreak and American Casino, along with his 2006 book Don't Drink and Draw, named an Art Book of the Year, show a much louder, more public side of the same artist responsible for a quiet, reflective painting like this one. A documentary about his life has also won awards at multiple independent film festivals, tracing both halves of his story from Las Vegas bar bands to hospital visits with sick children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Michael Godard","offers":[{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 28\" x 37.5\" Artist Proof Edition of 50","offer_id":49218599190698,"sku":null,"price":1595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 17.5\" x 23\" G Edition of 250","offer_id":49218599223466,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 28\" x 37.5\" Gallery Proof Edition of 25","offer_id":49218599256234,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 28\" x 37.5\" Signed and Numbered Edition of 300","offer_id":49218599289002,"sku":null,"price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 40\" x 60\" M Edition of 50","offer_id":49218599321770,"sku":null,"price":3995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/2238\/3935\/files\/risenbymichaelgodard.jpg?v=1788964883","url":"https:\/\/michaelgodardgallery.com\/products\/michael-godard-risen","provider":"Michael Godard Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
