This contemporary oil painting depicting a metropolitan New York City scene is the work of realist painter Patty Neal. The painting offers a view of Brooklyn from behind the beautiful branches of a tree. The dark browns and greens of the tree provides interesting contrast to the sunlit city peeking through. Neal’s work highlights everyday city scenes, utilitarian infrastructure, and industrial or electrical apparatus. The painting is currently unframed and ready to hang. 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.
