About the Item
Artist Comments
Two geisha pass on the street. Loose, painterly details with beautiful soft features in the main subject's face. Tonal palette of white and grey highlighted with purple, yellow and peach undertones. As a child, Mary Pratt became fascinated with the beauty of the geisha. "I visited the UN building in New York with my girl scout troop and purchased a porcelain geisha. I thought they were the most beautiful and mysterious people I had ever seen. I still think that today."
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.
