Patricia Buck is an American abstract painter based in Maryland, known for large-scale color field paintings and mixed-media works exploring phenomenal energy.
MessageThis painting evokes a dark, cosmic atmosphere— a window into deep space.
The overall palette is richly saturated with purple, black, and deep blue, punctuated by highlights of violet, lavender, bits of pale blue, white, and some yellow.
Brushstrokes are layered, creating an immersive sense of depth. There is a nebula-like motion to the marks, and areas which look like they’re pulsing.
Dotted lines of white and yellow drift through the work like constellations.
The two sides of the work glow with light on the bottom and right edges as streaks of yellow and violet introduce a sense of illumination or emergence from darkness.
The painting is powerfully ambiguous. It can be read as both macroscopic (space, galaxies, and dark matter) or microscopic.
