PATRICIA FABRICANT

CURRENT AND UPCOMING

Really thrilled to announce my upcoming solo show, Horror Vacui, at Equity Gallery! The show opened Wednesday October 30, 6 to 8 pm, and runs through November 23. I will be there every Saturday and there will be an artist talk/catalog signing on Nov. 16 and a closing tea on Nov. 23. The show features radially symmetric paintings I have been working on for the past two years. We are producing a catalog with essays by Paul D'Agostino and Christopher Stout. Equity Gallery is at 245 Broome Street and open Weds to Sat, 12–6pm. There will be satellite shows by London Calling Collective in the Project Room and Ellie Murphy “Monocots” in the back courtyard.

Thrilled to have participated in artKAMALA, a benefit for the Harris / Walz campaign, at Metaphor Projects. It was a wildly successful event, raising over $60,000 for the campaign!

I also have a piece in a fundraiser at ART06870, in collaboration with Greenwich Alliance for Education and with supplemental support from the NEA among others, to support in-school art workshops for students and aspiring young artists. All works 12 x 12 and for sale for $300. Reception October 5, 6–8 pm at 260R Sound Beach Ave, Old Greenwich, CT.

I am happy to be participating in Gowanus Open Studios this year. I was invited to share the studio of Abby Goldstein and Michael Koehler. I'll be showing some new smallish gouaches. The address is 110 Nevins Street, and we will be there Saturday and Sunday, October 19 and 20, from 11 to 7 pm. Hope you can come by! 

Four of my woven self portraits will be included in Self, curated by Lynn Honeysett at the New Rochelle City Hall Rotunda Gallery, 515 North Ave, New Rochelle. The show opens October 28 with a reception on November 5, 5 to 8 pm, and runs through November 30. Open during regular business hours.

2024

Excited to be part of a fun summer show at Starship Gallery in Bushwick. Organized by Lars Kremer and Ellie Murphy with a really fun and impressive roster of artists. 70 Jefferson St. 7/14 – 8/25, Sundays 1–6 pm and by appointment.

I had a piece in the New York Artists Equity Exchange Show, at Woodstock Artists Association and Museum, in Woodstock. 4/20 – 6/2. 28 Tinker Street, Woodstock. Gallery hours: Thurs. to Sun., 12–5pm.

Another edition of Among Friends is in the history books! We had 265 artists in the show, which was at Metaphor Projects in downtown Brooklyn, and raised $9,000 for Planned Parenthood. Co-organized once again with Alexandra Rutsch Brock and Beth Dary. Dare I say we really upped our game this time? The quality and range of the work was unparalleled and this was the best location yet. There is still amazing work available for sale, for $300 each, at this link.

I juried, along with Alexandra Rutsch Brock and Christina Massey, a show at Equity Gallery titled GREEN: Monsters, Money, Lust, Luck and Lucifer. If one could point to one color emblematic of the profound ambivalence and exasperating contradictions of the times we live in, green would clinch the role.  Whilst cast as a symbol of life, luck, and hope, it also signals disorder, greed, and poison.  For artists, green pigments were known to be notoriously unstable even when locked in resinous glazes--hence blackened passages once depicting flowing pastures and the earned moniker “the devil’s color”.  At best, green is mercurial, the mutable and fleeting aspects of childhood, love, and money. 

Happy to have had a small piece in HOLIDAY at LABSpace in Hillsdale, NY. I was in excellent company in this gem of a show, reflecting the strong community Julie Torres and Ellen Letcher have built (following the lead of Susan Jennings who opened this door wide for them)!

2023

I was be part of a great group of artists including Manju Shandler, Julie Peppito, Suzanne Furlong Kiggins, and Michela Martello. Each artist had our own stall in a horse barn, a mini-solo as it were. Manju made it into an amazing weekend, with sound baths and a DJ opening night.

Really honored to be included with such an impressive lineup of artists! “Through icons, photography, sound art installation, and abstracted or representational painting, CURRENT | UNDERCURRENT, addresses the anxiety surrounding the country’s ongoing crises and the unresolved issues that allowed them to manifest. The show’s subjects move from the general to the specific as it takes for its organizing principle the four key points that then President-elect Biden vowed to address on his first day in office: the pandemic, racial justice, climate change, and the economy."—Linda Griggs. Artists: Pilar Agoyo, Roberta Atabaigi, Savona Bailey-McClain – West Harlem Arts Fund, Kimberly Becoat, Sanford Biggers, Zoe Buckman x For Freedoms, Linda Byrne, William Camargo, Renée Cox, Nadia DeLane – West Harlem Arts Fund, Patricia Fabricant, David B.

2020

I had work in Front Room Gallery’s Holiday Show. The show features two tiers of work, $750 and under, and $2500 and under.

I am so thrilled to have curated a group show called With the Grain at Equity Gallery, which ran from November 5–28. Wood grain is the original action painting. The action implied is the slow, patient, and persistent accretion of layers of time; with each tree ring representing a year of its growth. The mechanical process through which plywood is made, while unnatural to the tree, nevertheless creates its own set of rhythms and repetitions. The patterns of the man-made plywood distort and amplify the natural record of the tree’s existence. With the Grain will explore the range of artists who work directly with wood grain. Alyse Rosner, Natalia Nakazawa, Jenny Carpenter, and Susan Jennings all incorporate the grain as a compositional element. For painters such as Deanna Lee, Patricia Fabricant, Alicia Philley, Beth Reisman, and Ellen Hackl Fagan, the grain directly dictates the composition. In contrast, Jesse Lambert and Paul Gagner meticulously replicate wood grain as an integral part of their paintings. Cheryl Molnar, Al Goldberg and Frank Parga’s paintings allow the raw grain to serve as a backdrop to their compositions, whereas Jim Osman’s sculptures juxtapose the organic raw wood with sensitively painted colors and forms. The show was an “Editor’s Pick” on Art Cards. Here is an interview with me by Etty Yaniv on ArtSpiel. And a link to a video of the artist talk.Really happy to be featured in Joanne Mattera’s Color! The Glorious RGB. Peruse this blog for some fascinating color explorations! Don’t confuse them. One is the beloved Supreme Court Justice. The other, with the flip of a letter, refers to the color wheel used in electronic media. Much as we hold dear the inimitable—and, we hope, immortal—Ruth Bader Ginsburg, RGB refers to the three colors that combine to produce the range of hues we see in electronic devices. For this curated post, we focus on The Glorious RGB. In other words: COLOR and all its variations of hue and saturation, tint and tone.

For Front Room’s quadrennial Ballot Show I made a series of small paintings of gerrymandered districts, for sale for $200 each and donated a portion of the proceeds from sales to fighting gerrymandering.

I was interviewed by the delightful and resourceful Renee Riccardo for Covid Stoop Studio Visit #17. We spoke in my new Crown Heights studio.

I had a piece in Front Room Gallery’s annual Summer Sampler. This year online only but full of great work! Featured artists: Sasha Bezzubov, Thomas Broadbent, Phillip Buehler, Peggy Cyphers, Beth Dary, Hubert Dobler, Jade Doskow, Debra Drexler, Patricia Fabricant, Linda Ganjian, Jessica Hargreaves, Sean Hemmerle, Amy Hill, Christopher Johnson, Jesse Lambert, Lisa Levy, Pamela Longobardi, Sascha Mallon, Stephen Mallon, Karen Marston, Mark Masyga, Sarah Olson, Melissa Pokorny, Julia Pontes, Ross Racine, Kenneth Ragsdale, Paul Raphaelson, Emily Roz, Ashok Sinha, Patricia Smith, Miho Suzuki, Joanne Ungar, Zoe Wetherall, Julia Whitney Barnes, Edie Winograde, Joyce Yamada. Curated by Daniel Aycock and Kathleen Vance.

Six of my new gouaches will be featured in Front Room Gallery’s online show Minimalism / Maximalism. Featured artists: Sasha Bezzubov, Peggy Cyphers, Debra Drexler, Patricia Fabricant, Jessica Hargreaves, Pamela Longobardi, Stephen Mallon, Karen Marston, Mark Masyga, Sarah Olson, Ross Racine, Ashok Sinha, Shira Toren, Joanne Ungar, Zoe Wetherall, Julia Whitney Barnes, Edie Winograde, Joyce Yamada, curated by Kathleen Vance. From the press release: Mies van der Rohe famously coined the phrase 'Less is More’. Maximalist architect, Morris Lapidus countered with “Too Much is Never Enough.” An overall assessment to these edicts comes from Frank Lloyd Wright who said "Less is only more when more is no good." This exhibition presents works that visually confront the philosophy of both structures of creation. Featuring works that bask in the minimal aesthetic of reduced intention and works that invigorate the senses through the maximalist approach of addition.

Really excited to be part of the USPS Art Project! It runs from August 1–31 at the Pelham Art Center and will then travel to the Ely Center in New Haven from Sept. 13 to Nov. 1. This project was initiated by Christina Massey to help support the postal service. Artists pair up and each begins a piece which they then send to their collaborator to complete. My collaborators on the works above were (left to right) Linda Schmidt, Manju Shandler, Seren Morey, Joanne Ungar, and Erika Ranee. For more on the project, and lots of photos, see @uspsartproject on Instagram. The show is also traveling to Sunset Art Studios in Austin, TX, Art Gym in Denver, and InLiquid in Philadelphia.

Very honored to have been part of Radical Women: Seeing Red, curated by Patricia Miranda and including my fellow travelers in the group we have named London Calling. We traveled to London last fall and forged very strong bonds over art, politics and life. Thrilled to be showing with these warrior women. The show will be in Odetta Gallery's Harlem space from August 30 to Sept. 26 and will accompany a solo of Patricia's lace work. From the press release: In this intimate exhibition of seven women sheltering in place while staying connected through the digital realm, radical is found in the ties that thread them together. The works reflect the relationships between these artists, individually and as a group, and reimagine community for life during and after a pandemic.

I have a small work in Flatfile 8x8, a show of works 8” square, all for sale for $180. July 1 through September 15 Lots of small gems to be had here! Flatfile is part of SFA Projects, co-owned by Keith Schweitzer and Kay Sirikul Pattachote.

Honored to be one of the artists featured in Joanne Mattera’s Art in the Time of COVID, Part 2, Abstraction.

It could be said that it is the artist’s job to tap into our collective zeitgeist and distill and express it. Etty Yaniv’s Art Spiel blog has been interviewing artists every day on how they are coping with this new COVID reality we are in. It’s been fascinating to read the range of responses from the various artists. Here is a LINK to her interview with me.

One of my new gouaches is featured in Live Mag #17. Have a look!

Beyond thrilled that my new work was chosen to inaugurate Equity Gallery’s WING Project space.

I’m honored to be featured in Etty Yaniv’s blog Art Spiel! “Patricia Fabricant — Weaving a Fluctuating Self”

One of my Icons was included in Civil Discourse which opened this November 10, at the Kibbee Gallery in Atlanta, GA, curated by Jaynie Crimmins. Civil Discourse creates a visual dialogue challenging us to move beyond the historical and current divisiveness of red state/blue state politics and the turmoil our country is presently experiencing. NYC and Atlanta artists, each pursuing a studio practice that connects in surprising ways, shift the present angry and finger-pointing discussions to one that finds common ground. Unbeknownst to these artists, the works they create are in conversation with each other.  Many works are not mirror images and their relationship to one another might not be immediately evident. Civil Discourse connects these artists through imagery, treatment of subject matter, materials, technique or concept and celebrates the collective dialogue discovered in their art.

My Venn diagrams series was featured in Shelf Life: History, Biography and Fame,  at the Institute Library in New Haven, CT, curated by Martha Willette Lewis. This show featured biographies from their historic collection of books, as well as art relating to specific people in history, portraits and self- portraits. Sept. 29 through December 30.

I had a piece in a benefit for Planned Parenthood at M. David & Co, 56 Bogart St., in Bushwick, on December 21.

I discussed my work at Trans•cen•der on November 27 at 7 pm. Temporary Storage, 119 Ingraham, Bushwick. Hosted by Sharilyn Neidhardt, other presenters included Nancy Baker, Jacob Ouilette, Cibele Vieira, Lisa Levy, Mark Stockton and Cindy Stockton-Moore.

I had an abstract work in a group show at Arete Venue in Greenpoint. Opened Sept. 14 and continued through October 6. Curated by Fay Ku. 67 West Street.

One of my abstractions was included in RE: RE: Pattern, at La Bodega Gallery, 695 5th Avenue, in Park Slope. La Bodega Gallery is pleased to present "RE: RE: patterns", a group exhibition featuring artists who have aesthetically or conceptually incorporated patterns and/or repetition into their art practices. All artists in the exhibition work with patterns in a multitude ways, utilizing an array of techniques and mediums to create works that explore a myriad of subject matter. This exhibit focuses on stylistic varieties of repeating art elements that drive toward movement, harmony and unity. Opened September 7, 7 to 10, ran through Sept. 30.

Through a variety of works the show examines the role and representation of women in contemporary society. Viewed as a whole, the exhibition exemplifies how various forms of art making allow for nonverbal communication on a deeply personal level, communications that are often more powerful or truthful than the verbal or the written. The works create a dialogue between the viewer and the artwork that is filtered through uniquely female experiences and perspectives, inviting viewers to question modern social and political landscapes. May 23 through June 17, at 131 Chrystie Street, NY. Interview with me on my work in the show: https://sfaprojects.com/interview-patricia-fabricant/

Beyond thrilled with Among Friends, a group show I co-organized with Beth Dary and Alexandra Rutsch Brock. Inspired by the Robert Rauschenberg artwork "Hiccups", seen last summer in the "Among Friends" exhibition at the MoMA, AMONG FRIENDS reflects and responds to the strength and illumination we find through art, friendship and community. The show consisted of 132 pieces of 9 x 7" handmade paper, each worked on by a different artist, zipped together into one continuous, exuberant piece. Each individual work was for sale for $250 with 10% going to Planned Parenthood. We sold 95, raising over $3000 for PP! The installation was described as a group hug. It exceeded our wildest expectations.

I had a self-portrait in Fight or Flight, at The Painting Center, 547 w 27. Opens June 22. "This exhibition is about the practice of making art during tumultuous times. Some artists express their personal responses to world events, while others intentionally ignore what is going on and make art that becomes a refuge from the turbulence surrounding them. Looking back to specific artists’ reactions to unsettled times, there are Picasso’s Guernica and Gerhard Richter’s cycle of paintings October 18, 1977. On the other hand, Matisse created his joyful collaged paper cutouts for his Jazz series during World War II in France, and Jackson Pollock’s poured paintings were created in the nineteen fifties during the McCarthy era. Creativity can feed off the inspiration of current events and/or a personal vision." Curated by Barbara Marks, Patricia Spergel Berman and Alix Bailey.

I was thrilled to participate in BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL, at Drawing Rooms, in Jersey City. I have a room full of recent self-portraits. The show opened March 10 and runs through April 8.

You can imagine what a grand reunion it will be to have a celebration for this beloved neighborhood gallery. A kind of "eyewash REDUX" if you will.
