Toomey Tourell Fine Art is pleased to announce a solo exhibition for San Francisco painter Patrick Day. The show opens June 01st and continues through June 30th. The opening reception with the artist is on Thursday, June, 7th from 5:30-7:30 PM. Day is a San Francisco based painter whose work refers to mass architectural development as it relates to site, community and commerce. From signature art museums to mundane housing developments, Day uses the aerial view floor plan of these buildings to identify their footprint and portray the beauty of their repeated geometry one can only see once far enough away. This approach is also utilized in reference to natural topographical environments. Working in acrylic with black as the common ground, he eliminates any elements that might distract from the essential beauty and idea of the architectural design.
