About the Item

"Partial reveals of the canvas beneath give extra soft speckle texture, echoing the airy sentiment." Becca Fuhrman says of her work... My work aims to express the small moments that make up a life; quilting memories together one by one. When I was little, I remember my grandparents’ had wallpaper that didn’t repeat, but wrapped the entire dining room, floor to ceiling, covering every surface. Visual story-telling, folklore. The totality of imagery mesmerized me back then and continues to preoccupy my imagination now. Similarly, my work is often oversized, sequential, and imbued with the occult. Largely autobiographical, my pieces visualize bits of time; depicting days gone by, fleeting encounters from the present, and notions of the future. Exploring what it’s like to be alive - the beauty and the perversion - is the heartbeat of my work. Capturing emotional landscapes, often centered around the female experience, water, and sexuality, I seek to provoke curiosity in viewers. Unexpected color palettes, patterned elements, and mixed-media components, like gold leaf and sewn fringe, are used to heighten sentiments and construct abstract environments. Bodies in motion, elongated femme figures, and human hands often take center stage, suspended on ornamental backgrounds or abutting planes of color. Era bending, the subjects could exist just as easily on a Greek motif or 60’s album art. The result is seemingly playful at first glance but often seeded with strangeness and complexity upon further inspection. Like a recalling a reoccurring dream, bits of color, pattern, and imagery are stitched together to form a new and yet familiar impression that you just can’t shake. The quilts I saw my mother make as a child, the pulsating psychedelic poster art of the ’60s, and the ingenuity of folk art infiltrate my thinking. This interweaving of traditions allows my work to be ripe with contradiction, feeling simultaneously contemporary yet nostalgic, rich in symbolism but ripe with abstraction — holding many opposing truths at once, in a comforting way, so do many, much like we all do.

“I Adore You”
By Michael Patterson
Located in Southampton, NY
Oil on canvas painting by the contemporary American artist, Michael Patterson. Signed lower left. Framed in a contemporary dark wood frame 46 by 35.5 inches. Michael Patterson was born in Hudson, NY in 1953 into a family of painters. Howard Ashman Patterson, his grandfather, was an established American painter. Michael graduated from Suny Purchase with honors in painting, printmaking, and sculpture. He has been painting for thirty-five years or so, doing extensive traveling for inspiration. Michael focuses on light, reflected light and its color effects, as well as the positive and negative shapes of equal importance, create the graphic energy of my compositions. This sets the rhythm for a piece and influences where the viewer’s eye travels and at what pace. He includes curved lines with straight, organic shapes juxtaposed geometric shapes woven together, always conscious of the line created by any color masses converging. This line flows throughout, interrupted, yet continuous. The subject of his work most always includes the human figure wherever they may be- city streets, markets, the beach, alone or in groups. People are the most interesting part of creation. His travels include Vermont, Maine, California, New Mexico, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Europe. He lived in France for several years. Michael has shown his work in Europe and the U.S., primarily in the Northeast. Through the years his work has gone in and out of several styles and series of subjects. He is drawn to many of the same things visually that he was drawn to years ago: rainy city...
