poster for Patricia Watwood "Portraits 20/10"

This event has ended.

The tradition of portraiture is 3000 years old. The historical recording of our likenesses includes the ubiquity of photography. From celebrities to our sons and daughters, we are “on the record.” What do we look like? Who are we and what does our presence signify in the world at this moment? Patricia Watwood takes the long view. Rendered in oil, these are considered, toiled over, and invested with the kind of perspective that photography sometimes renders with cold precision. These paintings invite you to consider who we are, and what our experience here means. Rather than speaking to a moment, they ask you to spend time and relish our common humanity.

Patricia Watwood has studied painting at the Water Street Atelier, under Jacob Collins, and also under Ted Seth Jacobs at Ecole Albert Defois. She earned her MFA with honors from New York Academy of Art. Watwood did her undergraduate studies in Theatre Design, and has worked in scenic design and painting in regional theatres.
Watwood has exhibited in group and solo shows in New York, Paris, Houston, San Francisco and Long Island. Her work is represented by John Pence Gallery in San Francisco. Her figurative paintings have been included in several museum shows, including “Slow Painting,” at the Oglethorpe Museum; “The Great American Nude;” at the Bruce Museum of Arts and Sciences; and in “Representing Representation VI,” at the Arnot Museum.
