Kairoi No 26 Scott Pattinson

Passages of lemon yellow, moss green, rose, black, brown and grey, packed into a loose grid hold pent up energy in this intimate oil on canvas by Scott Pattinson. This painting is from the Kairoi series. Kairoi is Greek meaning 'the times" suggesting both a moment in time and the general zeitgeist. Pattinson's work may be seen in the broader context of the early 21st century resurgence of formalism and New Abstraction occurring in the US, Canada and internationally.
