Recent paintings
In the recent paintings by Patrice Lorenz energetic brush strokes bring into focus visions of bathers, groomers, smokers, recliners. Pensive women in repose paired with burden bearing net-like bags seen here empty. Are these figures passing through fields of jagged gestures telling us of their struggle to become? Are these women giving us their backs telling us not to ask?
