He participates in the 7th festival of contemporary art in Rouen in an exhibition entitled "Paysages coincés".
"Godefroy paints, paints the landscapes, stuck landscapes as he calls them. The horizon of his landscapes is more or less high, the meeting of the sky and the earth more or less clear. At their intersection, many things happen. (…)
Godefroy is moving more and more towards the figurative, and the titles of his paintings – Landscapes stuck without oxygen, Seagulls - accentuate a figuration that could be called minimal or, why not, since the epithet comes back symptomatically in his work, "Stuck". Two mediums are used for this purpose: traditional oil paint and smooth, shiny glycerophtalic paint. The work, which was once inspired by Nicolas de Staël's crushed pastes and then became more gestural, is concentrated in colour. Everything happens as if a Bazaine or a Pignon had been retained: painting is an incarnation and a quest for reality."
