About the Item
The urban series of oil on panel paintings take their inspiration from architecture and the energy of the inner city, its vertical nature, and its humanly propelled intensity. 'Upward Thrust' is rendered in shocking yellow, and is part realism, part abstraction, and part impressionism. It has a vitality and high energy that references neon and light not found in nature. In the series we find intimate views of glass towers, neon signs, bits of nostalgia in the words from old advertising, and clues to a world in flux. The paintings are powerful punches of optimism that hang well on their own or clustered together. Surfaces are smooth and slick, traditional oil on panel.

View from the Train: Cityscape Oil Painting, View of Brooklyn
By Patty Neal
Located in Hudson, NY
View from the Train, 2019
24" X 40" x 1", oil on canvas
This contemporary oil painting depicting a metropolitan view is the work of realist painter Patty Neal. The painting offers an intimate view of the city, as seen from a window, as it peeks from behind two metal structures. The dark browns and bright golds beautifully compliment the dusty blue, gray sky. Neal works highlight everyday city scenes, utilitarian infrastructure, and industrial or electrical apparatus.
Artist statement:
A life is an accumulation of experiences: visual, emotional and mental. By compartmentalizing these snippets of life we create boundaries. The focus of my work for many years has been the exploration of these various life aspects and how they are bound together or bound from each other. My process is often literally composed of boundaries. I make a painting by putting together multiple panels, or I segment a single panel into separate visual spaces. The works are made up of pieces or elements of city and landscape. While exploring the concepts of boundaries I play with visual “reality.” Sometimes I combine images that are upside down with those that are not and juxtapose images from different contexts. Literal boundaries, such as walls fences, expanses of water and highway median strips are also used. My intent is to invite viewers to look beyond these boundaries to see the possibilities of a connected whole.
