Mary Pratt

Three, Oil Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Artist Mary Pratt paints three women together closely in a palpable bond of closeness and friendship. Reflecting on the world, Mary creates this positioning to bring into being a sense of connection while intentionally blurring the lines that separate the figures. The trios' downward glance at a familiar sight leaves the viewer with a mystery. Mary implies a common view tongue-in-cheek with the three dainty figures.
