The show featured Goss, world-renowned artist, Gottfried Helnwein, and two other painters, Patrick Morrison and the now late Miguel Arguello. Goss was an integral part of a group show held in October 2002 at the “Downtown Independent Gallery” at 811 Traction. With 34 pieces on show that evening the exhibition sold out and garnered a great deal of well-deserved publicity for the prolific young artist. In 2001 InStyle Magazine hosted a red carpet affair at Quixote Studios in Hollywood, California, attended by many of Hollywood's elite. Goss' career began with privately funded shows in 1993, with annual exhibitions. Some of his many collectors are: Nicolas Cage, Kevin Smith, Jason Lee, Nick Nolte, Ben Foster, DJAM, Joey Pantoliano, Winona Ryder, Giovanni Ribisi, Danny Masterson, Laura Prepon, Chris Masterson, Jenna Elfman, Shawn Piller, Juliette Lewis, Soleil Moon Frye and many others.

Then he started painting images not like anything before, 'Alex Riding a Pig,' 'The Little Pope,' 'The Blind Leading the Blind.' The progression led to his most powerful work yet, 'Women Riding Pigs.' That is until he painted the Triumph of Death series, which led to yet another turn in his work, city scapes, burning cities and buildings.

A self-taught painter, Goss traveled the world at seventeen in search of the impressionistic material in which he first became recognized by his many patrons.Īs he advanced, he studied the female form, and considered himself a figurist painter. Understandably, Goss began searching for his true vocation in his early teens, ultimately deciding to follow his first true love-painting. His ability to paint first emerged when he was five and the significance of that early period was not lost on those who recognized his true potential, especially his mother. Bryten Goss was born Augin Los Angeles, he died October 26, 2006-he was just 30 years old.
