Patrick McCay: A Thematic Retrospective - Explore, Exploit, Express
Exhibition: April 20 - August 3, 2024
The Whistler House Museum of Art (WHMA) is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, Patrick McCay: A Thematic Retrospective — Explore, Exploit, Express. The show will run from April 20 to August 3, 2024. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, April 20, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Parker Gallery.
Patrick McCay’s work occupies the space between the literal and abstract. Skillfully orchestrated colors pepper the expressive surfaces of chosen icons. Grounded in a scaffold of remarkable drawings and an immediacy of gestural brushstrokes, he tempts and teases with a visual theatricality, adding the dignity of the ‘unknown’ to that which is all too well ‘known.’ McCay focuses his visual explorations within the imposed contours and attentive challenge of thematic expression.
An Irish-born, Scottish/American artist, Patrick McCay holds a Bachelor’s degree and graduate qualifications in Painting from the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland. He holds a second Master’s in Fine Art from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana.
