Tommy Fitzpatrick: Homescapes

During his three-decade career, Tommy Fitzpatrick has continually studied and reinterpreted modernist architecture through his paintings. Paying close attention to the industrial materials and structured grid of buildings, he explores unique tools and processes for making paintings. He uses common industrial tools, such as trowels and spatulas, to allow for a more illusionistic and obscure effect within his works. Homescapes is Fitzpatrick’s continued exploration of built landscapes and their abstraction. All of the imagery was drawn using CAD programming, focusing on a facade. This type of imagery is particularly interesting to the artist because of its iconic nature. Homescapes is Qualia’s second exhibition of the New Year, and will be on view concurrently with Xu Hongming: The Form of the Formless.
