ARTIST STATEMENT 2010

Pat Hidson 2010

I have been working steadily as a painter all of my life. As an exhibiting artist I have continued to develop my work and have produced a number of original styles that I tend to work on for many years.. On both paper and canvas the images I use have been found in my many filled sketchbooks. These are full of drawings of people, places, animals and objects, as well as clippings and quotes. The work on paper takes me back to the joys of drawing as a child. Crayons, pencils and washes of gouache allow me to work from detailed studies, and to combine the imagery in unexpected ways. The work on canvas is inspired by gardens, in particular drawings from my own yard. Birds, animals, and architecture are other sources. The exploration of line, and the incorporation of drawing as a dominant element allow me to fully explore the potential of using subject matter that seems to be boldly revealed, and yet is still kept only partly hinted at. Developing as rich a ground as possible is a strong interest. Everything in life is framed and supported by a complex context. That background includes the emotional and temporal ground of being. The lines are not arbitrary. Each one is simply part of a drawing of something specific,
however, the reference has sometime been lost in the painting, leaving only the line.
