Patricia Brintle’s acrylic paintings are completely at ease with themselves. Her careful application of color is intentioned but uninhibited, resulting in free, inviting images that recall tranquil summer afternoons or soft evening breezes. Brintle includes just enough detail in her work to give viewers a sense of place and mood, but her main focuses are vibrant colors and expanses of luminously open-ended paint. Whether painting portraits, landscapes, or a marriage of the two, Brintle presents sublime moments that seem to emerge out of relaxed narratives. Her work emphasizes the importance of the present; the gravity of the moment transcends any past or future.
Originally from Haiti, Brintle merges both her Haitian heritage and her experiences with the United States landscape in her paintings. She intimately understands the joys and hopes that occupy each moment and the unimpeded, poetic mood of her paintings grows out of this understanding. Patricia Brintle currently lives and works in New York. Her award-winning paintings have been exhibited both privately and publicly in New York and Florida.
