About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Mary Pratt depicts a figure surrounded by oversized hibiscus. "I pushed the contrast in the painting using color as the visual carrier," says Mary. The vibrant yellow adorning the geisha's dress and gradually enveloping the background symbolizes the primacy and endurance of beauty in a transforming world.
About the Artist
Mary Pratt, a Georgia-based artist, is known for her impressionistic yet modern oil paintings that capture the world with a jovial poise. Her soft, ethereal palette is complemented by the occasional bright pop of color. The artist’s aesthetic choices are intuitive rather than premeditated. Through her gestural brushstrokes, Mary’s paintings summon a joyful, even childlike, emotional response. Her style is nuanced by a range of inspirations, including scenery from the state of Georgia. The personal edge that Mary brings to each painting alters and enhances recognizable subject matter, cultivating an imaginative visual experience.
