Review: “Patricia Watwood : Myths and Individuals” at the Forbes Galleries
I had the pleasure of viewing the “Myths and Individuals” exhibit by Patricia Watwood at the Forbes Galleries on Feb 22, 2012. Her technique combined with the purpose of her paintings called out to me in a very unique way. The technique unquestionably amazing. As an artist, I can be critical of other artists work or I stand back and take in every moment, then go close and look at details. I found her paintings purely human, I could not find flaw in them. Watwood’s written message about her work also stood out to me, she connects the subject of her paintings to the world. One painting in particular “Pandora” is a great example of the type of narrative story she tells. She writes about her work, “I want viewers to feel validated – that our daily life has some higher meaning.” The message I got from her work is that one person matters and the whole world matters, human life is important. I like that message.
