Patricia Chow
Larger the Life Drawing

Patricia Chow is a Chinese American abstract painter that explores the intersection between East and West and draws from both traditions, creating works of color and texture that express the inherited memories of successive generations growing up in the United States. She came to ´ace to do a micro-Residency in Mural Painting, during which she installed her piece in our terrace, embracing the tradition of ´ace’s palimpsest and making use of the already existing paintings to appropriate part of them for her new piece.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My mural project is a celebration of artistic collaboration through time and space, crossing national boundaries as well as the pandemic era. The original sketches were done from Zoom life drawing sessions with Argentine models that I was finally able to meet in person when I came to Buenos Aires to participate in the residency.
