A riot of glorious colour—blues, pinks, reds, oranges, yellows, green, purple against a white backdrop dance across the canvas in this abstract painting by Scott Pattinson. The Canadian artist uses a broad brush to apply generous swaths of vibrant colours punctuated by black markings to create expressive work.

“Pattinson plays with the emotional triggers of colours, mostly by slamming together unlikely, even decadent, contrasting hues and then encases those associations, the metonymic readings possible, with harsh, cutting and calligraphic blackish strokes.” R. M. Vaughan, Art Critic
