The Distance Between, Abstract Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Artist Patrick Duffy displays his signature linear marks in this composition. He paints solid blocks of black and gray, mimicking the silhouette of towering mountains. Amidst the bold forms, a striking streak of white emerges, creating a mesmerizing interplay of contrast and depth. In his work, Patrick creates a dialogue between the imagination and removing limiting barriers of distance and various dimensions. "Sometimes, it's easy to forget that there is a vast and obscure world out there," says Patrick. "To grasp at anything too large for its capacity gives the sensation of being small, and that can have a big effect on the self."

About the Artist
