From Inman Gallery:
“Tommy Fitzpatrick’s painting practice has always been rooted in and inspired by architecture. Simulated Structures shows Fitzpatrick exploring a new way of developing the ideas for his paintings. Instead of painting from photographs of hand-built structures, he uses architectural software to make his constructions digitally. Wanting to further unmoor any logical reading of his digital constructions, Fitzpatrick embarked on a second innovation: textural, troweled-on paint. This method of application results in the viewer reading the work as an object-painting first – a conglomeration of three-dimensional blocks of color – before beginning to dissect the three-dimensional space articulated by the image. Simulated Structures engages the tradition of painting and the legacy of Modernism, while embracing science and technology as a new means of inspiration.”
