Exhibition

Pat Mahony

This exhibition includes works by colorist Pat Mahony whose focus remains centered around how to equally convey dramatic impressions and intensity. Mahony’s paintings in this exhibition are the culmination of a career spent exploring the contrast of light and dark; the results are the closest Mahony has come to absolute abstraction—her ultimate goal. Her work, often large-scaled, emphasizes color, composition and drama. Pat Mahony was born in 1951 in Los Angeles, California. In 1973, she graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara. Her work hovers between abstraction and representation; saturated tones and lush abstraction are combined with the goal of creating the perfect balance between dark and light. Mahony’s subject matter ranges from urban scenes, river landscapes, and still life to figures.

“Art Objects”: Palette to Palate

Many artists have a diverse palette to their glazes and highlight a range of visual dioramas through ceramics. Art Objects: Palette to Palate aims to celebrate this through the form of functional tabletop ceramics.

The John Natsoulas Center for the Arts will provide several culinary experiences using works from the exhibition.
