In this In-Sync post, I have the opportunity to share my interview with Chicago-based artist Patricia Larkin Green. I have known Patricia for a few years. I was thrilled to visit the exhibition of her ongoing series of unmade beds at the President’s Gallery of Chicago State University. These paintings that relate to our intimate spaces capture our sense of humanity and often resemble a surreal landscape of hills and valleys.
Chicago Tribune: Sumi-e Asian Ink Painting
Sumi-e Ink Painting
Patricia Larkin Green will demonstrate Sumi-e Ink painting. She is well known as a painter along with her skills in sumi-e ink painting. A turning point for her was learning to paint Sumi-e, (East Asian ink wash painting), where her goal is to capture the soul of the subject. When she paints a flower she is freed from reproduction and inspired to convey its movement and fragrance. Less is more. Her website is: patricialarkingreen.com.
