PERSONAL STRUCTURES

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, US, artist Curtis Patterson finds fulfillment in developing art on a range of scale from monumental sized sculptures to flat work. Inspired by innate curiosity, spiritual growth and life-long learning, artist Patterson has developed a body of work imbued with antiquity and modernity. He utilizes his reflections on life; his ancestry and shadows cast from the past to stir metaphorical conversations within his work which often perpetuates unbroken connections to historical events. Through his work, he aims to illuminate the beauty of African iconography and design. The command of aesthetics in his pieces yield a symbiosis that spontaneously melds the subconscious with the sublime.

With improvisational jazz, the natural environment and matters from the sphere of social justice as key motivating forces, the dynamism of Patterson’s works effortlessly evokes a sense of visual dialogue. He believes art has the ability to elevate the highest aspirations of the human spirit for freedom. A primary goal of his journey in art is to compose timeless works that constitute a type of gravity which draws audiences in for inspection, interpretation and meditative energy.
