Pat Lipsky

Pat Lipsky believes abstract forms hold a deep emotional currency and that varied color permutations can be intellectually engaging.  In her works on paper composed at Aurobora, Lipsky rethinks the grid as carefully calibrated bars and recreates geometric form beyond simple mathematical pattern.  In doing so, she invites the viewer to consider the intricacies: the subtle shifts and adjustments, the interlocking spaces between rectangular sectors and their asymmetrical variations.  In short, she composes unexpected associations with her surprising orchestration of syncopated color, deceptive tonal shifts, and the subtle interrelationships within a composition.
