Artist Comments
An abstract landscape rendered in fresh tones of teal and green by artist Pat Forbes. "This piece reflects on the pleasures of travel," says Pat. Swerving lines part the ways between uneven shapes. Chinese symbols mark certain locations reminiscent of a map. "Visiting new places and seeing things that are new and have different information enrich us."
About the Artist
Pat Forbes is an abstract painter whose aesthetic is heavily influenced by her 20 years as a collector and dealer of Middle Eastern textiles. Pat, who lives on the west coast of Florida, uses a neutral palette to present her interpretation of the world around her– from marshes and mountains to stones and spiderwebs. She is drawn to pattern and design, both of which influence the use of balanced repetition in her work. Pat’s muted colors invite pensive meditation, while her deliberate use of line guides the eye through satisfyingly symmetrical compositions.
