Gestural passages of crimson, red-orange and indigo are caught in a vigorous eddy of movement in this dynamic composition by Scott Pattinson. This painting has its roots in the spontaneity of surrealism and the passion of 20th century abstract expressionism.

Scott Pattinson's (b. 1974, Toronto) thematically organized oil paintings are micro-narratives of collective experience articulated through colour, texture and an exacting spatial sensibility. Pattinson studied architecture and urban design at the University of Toronto and completed a BES in Urban Design from the University of Waterloo. Since 2005, he has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows in galleries across Canada, including a 2014 retrospective at Gallery Stratford. His work is held at Gallery Stratford as well as in numerous corporate and private collections in Canada, Dubai, Italy, France and the US.
