Career
Goulding is largely self-taught as a painter. He exhibited for the first time in 1964 and represented Ireland at the 1971 Biennale de Paris.[8]
His work is in the collections of Office of Public Works, Teagasc, the National Library of Ireland, Arts Council of Ireland, Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Ashmolean Museum, Crawford Gallery and Ulster Museum.[9] He was elected to Aosdána in 1992.[10]
According to Hilary Pyle of The Irish Times, "Goulding has developed a compelling style which can rise with a swell into realism, and subside again into abstraction without losing its consistency: and can be seen as the natural succession in Irish art to the work of George Russell in that it represents an inner landscape at the same time as being true to what is visible to the eye."[4]
