ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is one of the first paintings I created after the suicide of one of my best friends. I was in a very dark place. The figure is super flat because of the blurring technique, but because of the matte black around the figure she seems to be both pushed and pulled into the foreground and background at the same time. The figure is surrounded by some sort of void or non-space, rather than a real physical space.

"The hands of the dead have touched the doorknobs we turn, dust from lives once lived rest in the crevices of our floorboards, those who have passed have spoken to us in dreams." Patrick Stromme (1989) received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and his BFA from the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh. He specializes in drawing and painting. Elements of traditional figuration are coupled with abstraction and paint materiality. Stromme explores themes of ghosts, movement, surface, and time. Stromme’s work reminds us that haunted houses do exist and ghosts can reach out through space and touch us. When Patrick was young, the Stromme family took residence in a home that originally served as a doctor's post when it was built back in 1908. Growing up, he found medical kits, journals, and otherworldly reminders of the home's past life.
