Sky Patterson Solo ExhibitionPresented by Blue Star Contemporary Art Center at Blue Star Contemporary Art Center May 31-August 18, 2012 Artist Statement:

Through the disconnection of non-local color and raw treatment of paint, I explore the paradox of my subjects. My inspiration is spawned from my intimations of the human condition. We are always drawn to the figure because we are most familiar with and curious about ourselves. I approach the figure in... | Blue Star Contemporary Art Center | 05/31/12-
