About the Item
To trip and retrip on a piece of land, a surface, a support that sets up not a bounce but a billow, a soft surge, a reverberation where the ground is friendly, known, familiar and then questionable, transformed, odd, and unreliable.
To ponder figures, postulate objects, track, retract, probe, suggest the preposterous, erase, and efface. Then question, hold the brush, gesture, gesticulate, affirm, retract, and reaffirm the action of painting.
This show is an interrogation of my materials, methods, subjects and solutions. I pose and propose, set an object on a wave. Its ludicrous earthly references mock me. I let them sit there and proceed, drawn to yet avoiding the abyss of abstraction.

- "Superior (Great Lakes), " Oil on Panel, 2023Located in Chicago, ILThis abstract work by Chicago artist Patrick Fitzgerald belongs to a series of “track paintings” that materialize the imagined tracks navigated by his miniature soap-box car sculptures. Inspired by slot-car racetracks, each painting depicts a meandering, yet cyclical path that twists and turns upon itself in an endless loop. Isolated from time and place, the painting achieves a sense of timelessness and draws a through line linking the past, the present, and the future. Entitled "Superior," this track painting is one of five compositions inspired by the Great Lakes...Category
