EVENT: Women at Work

April 21, 2018  •  Leave a Comment

Opening this week: Women at Work is a new group show at the Topanga Canyon Gallery.  Patrick is proud to exhibit a collection of photographs featuring working women, not romanticized or feminized, but interesting and beautiful in their daily state.  His photos hang alongside artists Idelle Okman Tzybir, Zoe Topsfield, and Carole Carpenter- working, respectively, in metal, glass, and silk, the three women create art with their chosen elements that are essential to what the viewer experiences in the art itself.

The PaddyThe PaddyThis rice farmer is doing hard work – as difficult or more-so than someone working on a small farm anywhere in the world. And yet her step is delicate, almost dance-like, in concert with the beauty of the land that is her world and her livelihood.

Patrick, the only male artist showing in Women at Work, exhibits a collection of images of women doing physical work to maintain their lives and families- a frequent topic for his photography, and debuting 2 new pieces.  He illustrates his subjects as genuine and unadorned- real women.

Having Patrick's images, side by side with the work of Carole, Zoe, and Idelle, is intended to invite the visitor to see the soul of all these women through their work.

Women at Work runs at Topanga Canyon Gallery From April 18- May 13, with a reception on Saturday, May 28 from 4-7pm.
