He exhibited one of his paintings ‘Begonias’ at the Galerie des Tout-Petits over the winter of 1925 – but aside from this specific detail little is known of his exhibition career. Godfrinon was a member of ‘Le Sillon’ group and his work has subsequently found its way into the collection of the museum of Sint-Joost-ten-Node in Charlier in Belgium – the painting is titled ‘La Serre – La Jeune fille au miroir.’// Godfrinon died at Schaarbeek in 1927.
