Shifting shape

“By studying art and making art, we place ourselves into a centuries-long continuum of observers and visual speakers,” says art educator and painter Susan Patrick. “We begin to understand previous and current cultures through drawn, painted, and sculpted images.”

Patrick, who is on staff at Village School, has decades of experience teaching art at public schools, and is a member of McGuffey Art Center, where her work is on display in the Smith Gallery.

Her new exhibition, “Connections: possibilities/impossibilities,” showcases a series of acrylic paintings on canvas. The series was a way for Patrick to explore a simple but intriguing shape—the triangle.

“I had seen an image of a painting broken into triangles, and liked the composition,” says Patrick. Triangles can be found scattered throughout her paintings. One of them, “December #2,” is a study of shapes where triangles are held inside the jagged edges of a square. “Everything is splintered and in full agitation. The triangles push into each other and pull apart—confined in their squares.” The paintings are calm, yet full of struggle. “The triangles are ill matched, not able to create their own square and unable to leave the square format.”

Patrick’s work also contains hidden messages. “These paintings are partially covering paintings made in the past,” she says. On the surface, “Sooner” looks bright and cheerful. Vibrant greens and blues color Patrick’s signature squares, rectangles, and triangles. But hidden underneath is a messy, emotional sprawl of words. “A poem, written over and over, densely covered the canvas with layers of words,” says Patrick. The poem was about leaving behind a difficult situation, and bits and pieces of it still shine through and can be seen in the finished work, memories of the past mingling with the present.—Maeve Hayden
