About the Item

This evocative Folk Art painting on board is by the fabulous British Canadian artist Nancy Patterson. It comes from her series ‘Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon’ , a compelling set of paintings in the Folk idiom made by Nancy about her life on the edge of the Desert in Southern Morocco. The paintings tell the narratives, the tales of the community that over the past eighteen years has become her home. Artwork details: Nancy Patterson, 'Pied Piper of Bounou', acrylic on board, unframed 27cm x 35cm, 2015. initialed on the front. Provenance, directly from the artist studio. Condition: in excellent condition. There is something very comforting about the term Folk Art, derived from the idea that a work of art is firmly rooted in the community it depicts. Folk Art can initiate feelings of splendid joy. It is often misjudged as holding less regard that some of its fine-art cousins but we need look no further than the fabulous British artist Alfred Wallis or the captivating Canadian painter Maud Lewis to understand that Folk Art can be just as complex in its formal arrangements, compositions and choice of colour palette. Another myth, possibly by those who could not explain the beauty in the Folk Art form, is that this type of art is the sole premise of artists who have had no formal training. Nancy narrates the painting, 'Daoud, the Piper, is a relaxed, charismatic character, children as well as animals tend to gravitate to him. Here he is surrounded by Desert Dogs, Rex (left) the reticent one, Rimpo (behind) the youngest, Cambo (front) the pushy one, and Dick, the oldest, all watched by Black Cat, the grandmother, Grey Cat, her daughter and Shadow, the granddaughter as well as his own young daughter, Rahma and some other desert residents'.

Artist Biography Nancy Patterson (1936-) Born in Canada in the 1930’s, following a bohemian childhood, Nancy Patterson was instilled with a passion for exploration and places afar, particularly the ancient culture of the world beyond the West. Graduating with an Art Degree from Vancouver College of Art, in 1957 Nancy travelled to the renown artist colony in the UK, St Ives in Cornwall. She wanted to combine her wanderlust with her love of making things. Friends were working with renown potters Janet and Bernard Leech. Life was full of parties and artist led. Nancy moved into the studio at Patrick Heron’s Eagles Nest, Francis Bacon arrived with his friend Ron and Ben Nicholson was down the road. Other guests were not just artists like Terry Frost, Bryan Wynter, Roger Hilton and many more, but also people in the Art business like Bertha Schafer from New York,Theo Waddington from London and Critic Clement Greenberg from the USA. Nancy met Rothko at Peter Lanyon’s place in Carbis Bay. It was at one of these party’s that she met artist Anthony Benjamin, ‘a delightful Puckish Peter Pan character who had recently returned from several months on a French Government Bourse in Paris, studying printmaking at William Hayter’s famously innovative Atelier 17. Ant and I were good at jiving and often met at parties, then one night we danced out the door to Peggy Lee's Fever and spent the greater part of the next forty-plus years together, usually having a good time and always involved in something to do with Art’. Connected with the centre of the London art world from the Sixties to the Eighties, Nancy subsequently worked on sculptures with Benjamin, hung out with Brian Eno, made props and models for the Dr Who TV series and taught at Ealing College of Art. She ran an Art Gallery, curated exhibitions, and was involved in projects at prestigious institutions such as the Institute of Contemporary Art in London. She always found a particular pleasure in associations with non-western art and artists. Following trips to Marrakesh with Anthony and his untimely death in 2002, a couple of years later Nancy returned to Marrakesh where she met Daoud, a trader in Berber goods. He spoke English well and had a sense of fun. She shared a telling meal with Daoud and his friends, ‘a meal cooked to perfection with aromatic spices and lots of black olives, probably better than what you would get in a fancy restaurant’. At the end of the meal, Daoud said, 'this is our last day in Marrakesh, we are leaving tomorrow, Do you want to go to the Desert?' Nancy replied, 'Okay'. Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon is a compelling set of paintings in the Folk idiom, made by Nancy about her life on the edge of the Desert in Southern Morocco. The paintings tell the narratives of the tales of the community that over the past eighteen years she has become part of.
