About the Item
Patricia Crotty’s “Flotsam and Jetsam” is a large 48 x 36 inch abstract painting in oil on canvas, with forceful brushstrokes and floating shapes in pink and yellow, blue and green, purple, black and white. It evokes a stormy sea, with elements floating and sinking below the surface, perhaps the remains of a shipwreck or objects no longer needed, tossed overboard to lighten the load. Starting from a pastel drawing made on site at a rocky shore, the painting developed in intuitive layers until it reflected calmness above the turbulence of memories, thoughts and ideas that swirl in a sea of consciousness.
Patricia Crotty’s colorful gestural paintings are inspired by nature and the hidden forces that lie beneath everyday experience. Her work reflects the tension between chaos and order, fluidity and form, reflecting the natural world’s unpredictability and underlying design.
Inspired by the impressionist sensitivity of Monet and Matisse, as well as the gestural dynamism of Abstract Expressionists Willem de Kooning and Joan Mitchell, her works merge observational starting points with intuitive abstraction. Her process begins with sketches drawn from life, capturing fleeting impressions that she later develops in the studio through an intuitive process of layering and revision.
Her abstract landscapes are responses to the beauty of nature, which is constantly unfolding, reflecting both personal emotion and broader ecological themes. In an era of accelerating technology and climate change, her work aims to reassert a sensory connection to the natural world.
