Detroit Drawing | Works on Paper by Nancy Patek

Abstract

Excerpt from essay by Ludger Brinker: "Nancy Patek is an unabashed regionalist, not an easy stand to take in a time when regionalism is dismissed as simply retro or anti-modernist. Concerned with the reality of life and the outside world, Patek's representational works run counter to many trends in contemporary art. The current exhibition clearly demonstrates that Patek's own version of regionalism is both artistically original and politically relevant."
