A Punch of Color : Fifty Years of Painting by Camille Patha Hardback
by Rock Hushka, Alison Maurer
Hardback
Description
Throughout her six-decade career, Camille Patha's painting has oscillated between the figurative and the abstract.
Patha began painting gestural abstraction in the 1960s then deliberately explored various painting styles, including hard-edged abstraction and surrealist-infused photorealism and, finally, a return to abstraction.
During each era of her career, Patha demonstrated a full mastery of painting, presenting canvases that wholly embody her imagery and vocabulary with an unwavering voice and shocking vigor.
Patha asserts her power as a painter by creating imagery of a complete universe that enables the viewer to be fully absorbed within a boundless volume.
In her paintings, she shares a sense of wonder about the existential conundrums confronting every person and with the exuberance of her elastic symbolism.
A Punch of Color is the first retrospective of her work since 1979.
