"Faster! Faster!" by Patrick Fitzgerald

About the Item

This experimental painting entitled “Faster! Faster!” by Chicago artist Patrick Fitzgerald continues his series of abstract “track paintings,” initially born as the imagined racetracks navigated by his miniature soap-box car sculptures. Each a meandering path that twists and turns in an endless loop, the tracks have taken on a symbolic meaning to Fitzgerald, who describes them as conduits that “allow my imagination to travel along a circuitous path that continues back to a place of origin, similar to my view of life.” Brushed in a warm palette of peach, crème, brown, and blue, the colorful painting draws upon the exuberance of Japanese pop culture and the esoteric beauty of Indian Tantric paintings, with their mysterious geometric forms that arise from a weathered, earth-toned ground. Oil washes, blurred linework and carefully layered details achieve a wondrous sense of age, as though the multicolor track – despite its futuristic form - appears to us as a lost artifact of the past. Fitzgerald has floated the work within a custom wooden frame, in keeping with the soft colors and textures of the painting. "Faster! Faster!," 2024 Patrick Fitzgerald (b. 1962) Oil, silver enamel, graphite and masking tape on linen. Additional Dimensions: Visible Painting: 16"W x 12"H x 0.75"D
