Art: Quiet by Gabriel Patti
Here’s another artwork that grabbed my notice at the latest Blue Line Studio art show. The artist is Gabriel Patti. The work is called Quiet (36×28, oil and marker on canvas).
To me, it is a great atmosphere painting of a city street scene. You can feel the energies, the temperatures, the sounds, and the hustles of the sights changing before you. It immediately brought me to the feeling of being underneath a Chicago elevated train track. There’s the light hitting at all angles and the noise of the train, the streets, the buildings, etc.
Gabriel said that he’s not always an aural painter, but he really tried to capture sound with this one. He even had specific sounds and sound sources in mind for all the elements in the painting.
