Pat Forbes
The Way Forward, Abstract Painting

2020

About the Item

Artist Comments
"Life offers us many choices and constant change through the years," offers artist Pat Forbes. "What never changes is that we move ever forward." An intricate abstract landscape that uses subtle pink and orange color changes punctuated with gray and blue.


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.

Old City, Abstract Painting
By Pat Forbes
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Pat Forbes depicts an abstract landscape with large towering structures under a murky atmosphere. "This piece reflects on the pleasures of traveling, and the joy of experiencing new and exciting places," says Pat. Uneven lines make up chunks of large structural shapes drawn close to one another. A green glowing sphere shines above the city that features prominent hues of blue, green, and yellow.
