Colorful and energetic abstraction - pink, turquoise, navy blue and yellow dance together on the white ground. This work is part of Pattinson's 2016 Kairoi series which was featured in a solo exhibition in September 2016.

Back in 2005, writing in the National Post, RM Vaughan described Pattinson as an “exuberant and sizzling emerging painter”. In 2010, he was one of two Canadian painters chosen to represent Canada at an international exhibition in Italy. In 2011, art critics in Vancouver and Edmonton called him edgy, innovative, a young painter to collect. Then in 2014, Gallery Stratford hosted a substantial retrospective exhibition his paintings spanning a 10 year period. Now in his early 40s, Pattinson is “emerging” no more. He is a present artistic force to be reckoned with and has developed a deft and confident maturity in his work.

The work of painter Scott Pattinson (b. 1974, Toronto) may be seen in the context of an early 21st century resurgence of formalism unburdened by the meta-narratives of modern abstraction. Pattinson’s 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.
