NADA NYC 2026: Griffin Goodman

VSG Contemporary is pleased to present a solo booth by Griffin Goodman at NADA New York 2026. Titled Where’s All The Peace and Quite at the Hello Goodbye Hotel, the presentation considers the search for comfort in an increasingly overstimulated world.

Conceived as a deliberately busy and visually crowded “stay,” the booth features four large-scale paintings alongside twenty-four smaller works, transforming the familiar language of hospitality into something restless, humorous, and psychologically charged. Goodman uses the hotel as both setting and metaphor: a temporary refuge where privacy, desire, distraction, and unease all coexist. What is meant to soothe instead overwhelms, asking where peace and quiet can still be found.

The presentation follows a breakout 2025 for the artist, marked by his first institutional exhibition and inclusion on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Art & Style. Goodman received his MFA in Painting and Drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his BFA from Ringling College of Art and Design. His career has also included collaborations with the Chicago Bulls, Warner Bros., and Lollapalooza.

With Where’s All The Peace and Quite at the Hello Goodbye Hotel, Goodman expands his distinctive visual language into an immersive environment that mirrors the anxieties, excess, and humor of contemporary life.
