Pat Forbes

Safe Harbor II, Abstract Painting

2022

Artist Comments
A divergent saturation of navy blue extends artist Pat Forbes' soothing abstract landscape. The fog blankets the bay on a cold fall day in New England. It coats the world in a cozy cottony haze, making everything feel out of focus and mystical. Pat uses a monochromatic blue palette to capture this distinct feeling.

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.
