Pat Gastreich

Women of insight and strength populate the paintings of Pat Gastreich, commanding our instant attention. Her lively palette is dominated by a saturated red and cobalt, gently brushed and spattered onto the canvas. Sinewy lines dictate the female form, alternately lounging, standing, or staring back intently into our eyes. The struggle between control and release is a constant narrative in the works. There is a powerful presence felt but not seen, a personal emotive discourse that each figure seems to be working through. “Women struggle with control,” she explains. “Learning to surrender control stops the internal discourse to bring harmony peace and acceptance.” Likewise, the juxtaposition of unruly paint and elegant lines brings home this theme; the addition of charcoal to the acrylic paint provides the distinctive edges of each figure. She has a wonderful sense of color and form which come together to create a stunning body of work.

Pat Gastreich has exhibited her paintings frequently across the United States, and they are held in numerous private collections. She lives and works in Cincinnati.
