Exhibition Description:

A first solo show of mixed media paintings by Seattle-based artist Patrick LoCicero, who continues his exploration of the floral still life tradition, and creates his signature paintings of highly decorative, tabletop arrangements in exotic vases.

LoCicero's idiosyncratic interpretations of classical still life are achieved by complex overlapping and collaging of the canvas with ephemera -- aged receipts, old diaries, love letters, antique books -- which provides both a thematic source for the painting, as well as a texturally rich, detailed surface.

Description:

LoCicero masterfully juxtaposes layers of collaged paper flower petals and foliage, with glossy, painted vases, while the canvases combine alternating areas of shallow and deep space.

LoCicero's works, layered in meaning as well, include his interest in travel, from place to place, era to era, and perhaps consciousness. The viewer is invited to make his own associations - to visit the past - if even for just a moment, an artistic journey of reverie and harmony.

Patrick LoCicero's work is included in numerous public and private collections.
