Gary J. Kirkpatrick, Artist

Welcome to my art and travel blog.

I have coined the term “Symbolic Expressionism,” to categorize most of my paintings. I do not set out with symbols in mind, they appear as if on their own. For example you will see many orange haired women in various poses as symbols of womanhood. They are also artistic devices. The forms create motion and the orange and other colors create interest and contrast while suggesting something deeper. There are abstract and realistic elements in the paintings Both the Edward Hopper inspired series and Van Gogh’s World are in this style. The earlier Amor series is more straight forwardly expressionistic. The Poland and the Netherlands watercolors are from travels, and are more realistic in style.

Paintings can be purchased directly from me or via Saatachi Art. Purchase information

I live in and travel extensively in Europe, including by own boat. The blog section mostly covers aspects of these travels.
