  • Chateau de la Flie (Liverdun, France)

    We came upon this beautiful chateau as we proceeded upstream on the Moselle. It’s across the river from Liverdun. In Liverdun’s harbor, which sits well below the cliff upon which the town sits, we stayed a pitch black night, maneuvering carefully to avoid grounding in the shallow waters.

  • Pianist, Singer, Dancers, Parallel Universe

    Pianist Singer Dancers and the Parallel Universe Acrylics on Canvas

    Art meets string theory

    This is another in the Pianist series. The dancers whirling dervishness calls forth a parallel universe. My painting Pianist Singer Dancer https://garyjkirkpatrick.com/pianist-singer-ballerina/ first evoked that universe, The energetic dancing brought forth the more intense intrusion of a parallel universe.

    The contrasts: between the representative and the abstract, the muted values and the blaring, the forms and motion, the unusual view from behind the performers.

    The Château de Montaigu is located on the outskirts of Nancy, France. It was built starting in1757 by the General Receiver of the Farms of Lorraine. The residence was upgraded and expanded starting in 1850. Edouard Salin, a mining engineer and his wife Suzanne bought the residence in 1918. Afire caused significant damage in 1921. Salin and staff dragged the furniture out of the burning structure. The work they undertook respected the style but used new construction methods and materials such as the steel used in the roof.

    The rooms contain furnishings in the style of Louis XV (16th century). There are painted wall coverings as well as painting directly on the plaster. You can visit only the ground floor.
