Patricia Oblack
Celebrate Enthusiasm, Abstract Painting

2017

About the Item

Artist Comments
Patricia enthusiastically explains that "the lower half of this painting suggests the dark of night, while various strokes refer to energy created from rockets flying up and exploding into the night sky full of thunder and lightening explosions." Using palette knives, she rapidly applied yellow, orange and black in this boisterous modern painting.


About the Artist
As a child in the 1950s, Patricia Oblack sat in front of the television and learned to draw with Jon Gnagy’s New Television Art Instruction Book. The exercise led to a love of art, and in 1962 she begged her mother to purchase lessons from Art Instruction, Inc. in Minneapolis. Within a few weeks, a box arrived with art supplies, including her first palette knife. Patricia finished every lesson, and was in good company–another student of the school was renowned Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. From that humble beginning, Patricia became a lifelong artist, currently creating dark, earthy abstracts, which she paints with the same palette knife from childhood.

  • Let Beauty Now Be What We Do, Abstract Painting
    By Joyanna Margo
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    An abstract bouquet of red and pink flowers dance in a yellow vase, inspired by the color and patterning of art nouveau prints. Part of Joyanna's signature series of 'negative space' floral scenes. "The story they tell is that joy can grow from any beginning - whether sad, happy, angry or empowered," she says. Joyanna begins each painting with vibrant color work and then completes the art by adding the negative space that defines her whimsical bouquets and gardens.
