“New Fluid Works" by Patricia C. Coleman, February 2018

“New Fluid Works", abstracts by Patricia C. Coleman opens in the Flowing Colors Studio, Friday, February 2, 2018.  

Tea Before Storm

“New Fluid Works” Studio Reception, from 5 to 8 PM.  

Light refreshments will be served.

 Patricia has been and exhibiting artist since the 1970's and shwoing in Bloomington, IN since the early 80’s.  In this current work with fluid paintings, I am manipulating the paint in a variety of ways with traditional brushes and unexpected tools such as gravity, broom straw and plastic wrap.  Each work unfolds upon its own merits to be interpreted by the viewer and occasionally in some pieces; there are so many references to concrete forms that images seem to be asking to emerge from the beautiful chaos. Both processes are very exciting.
