Patrick Duffy

Aurora Forward, Abstract Painting

2023

Artist Comments
A monochromatic portrayal of the northern lights reveals a symphony of traveling lines flowing through a dark sky. The moon blends with the dancing lights. The artwork initiates a dialogue between imagination and breaking through limiting barriers of distance and various dimensions, with linear marks representing an acceleration of space and stretch of light.

About the Artist
Artist Patrick Duffy creates multi-scaled abstract compositions that seek to realize patterns through process, form, and color. Growing up in the coastal town of Blue Hill, Maine, he started creating art very early. He explores time, space, theoretical, and science fiction themes. "I would describe my works as translated visions of paradoxes," says Patrick. He received his BFA from Pratt Institute in 2006. His works have been part of many New York, New England, and Houston, TX shows. Publications include The New York Times, "Things to See in the Hudson Valley" for the exhibition "Intricate Realities" at the Catskill Arts Society in 2016, as well as "Creating in Color" for Trouvé Magazine Volume 3 in 2015. Since 2019, Patrick has resided in Austin, Texas. He has worked with artists Takashi Murakami (Kai Kai Ki Ki Studios), Robert Longo, and Richard Serra. He is an art handler and shipping coordinator for galleries, museums, and fine art companies nationwide.
