Atlanta-based painter Patrick Eugène’s first solo show with Mariane Ibrahim is a beautiful and affecting reflection on the past. A tribute to the incidents, immigrants, and ancestors that have brought the artist, and by extension we the viewers, to where we are today. With a loaded brush and decisive gestures, Eugène breathes life into a series of warmly hued portraits so potent that they seem to return the gaze.
Eugène is self-taught and came to painting in his late 20s following an aborted career in finance. That’s a good thing. His works are guileless, free from affect and the conceptual contortions that prop up the art of the academic-industrial complex. That Eugène found his way from expressive abstraction to the clean contours of the Matissianis a unique journey, and his figures still echo with the restless energy of earlier abstract approaches. Only now it is more concentrated.
“50 lbs.” is tribute to the incidents, immigrants, and ancestors that have brought the artist, and by extension we the viewers, to where we are today.In addition to the paintings and installation, “50 lbs.” includes an intriguing, museological tableau featuring a small, peach-colored dress surrounded by snapshots and family photos.
