About the Item

Patricia Crotty’s “Open Window” is a brightly colored 18 x 18 inch abstract oil painting on canvas. Vibrant gestural strokes of yellow, red, pink, blue, and green float and form shapes on a more muted background of lighter blues and grays. The painting evokes clouds passing in the sky and branches waving, a glimpse of nature’s changing states, its interconnected parts coming together to form a harmonious whole. Finished with an artist-made 18.5 x 18.5 x 1.25 inch frame of thin wood strips. 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.
