In July 2012, this "Moon River" collection was exhibited at Ward-Nasse Gallery in New York City. Goudreau's first American solo show presented his street artists trying to live off their art. "Exceptional artists who depend on passers-by for their survival are rarely appreciated to their full potential due to an inappropriate time and place of performance, or to onlookers’ value judgements. Goudreau tells their stories with large bold and colourful paintings. Through the use of complementary colours, light, shadows and texture Goudreau attempts to define these artists’ expressions and emotions, and invites the viewer to discover the stories of these caricatured characters. Set in the same urban environment as his talented street artists, Goudreau enjoys painting some famous artists who have succeeded. Goudreau chooses artists who come from humble beginnings as a sign of hope to those who seek recognition for their work. Contrasting the same urban setting and a recognizable accomplished artist further emphasises the emergence of great artists from less fortunate milieus." Excerp from bio.
