ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This body of work contains environmental imagery sourced through the Internet. Animals, water, land, and pollution create the main compositions of the paintings, while childlike doodles, scribbled on top, attempt to give a sense of alleviation or comfort to the pieces. The children have drawn nature. While we as humans in the year 2018 are increasingly distracted by one another through war, smartphones, sports, and fast cars, it’s important to remember first and foremost, on an individual level, what is always outside of our homes, outside of our screens, bodies and brains. Landscape. Planet Earth.

"The hands of the dead have touched the doorknobs we turn, dust from lives once lived rest in the crevices of our floorboards, those who have passed have spoken to us in dreams." Patrick Stromme (1989) received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and his BFA from the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh. He specializes in drawing and painting. Elements of traditional figuration are coupled with abstraction and paint materiality. Stromme explores themes of ghosts, movement, surface, and time. Stromme’s work reminds us that haunted houses do exist and ghosts can reach out through space and touch us. When Patrick was young, the Stromme family took residence in a home that originally served as a doctor's post when it was built back in 1908. Growing up, he found medical kits, journals, and otherworldly reminders of the home's past life.
