Pat Dumas-Hudecki
Pat Dumas-Hudecki – born in Hamilton, Ontario and graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design.
I have been exhibiting my paintings since 1995 in Canada and the USA. My works have garnered many awards and may be found in private and public collections, including the Ontario Government’s permanent collection. I am a member of and serve on the executive council for the Ontario Society of Artists.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Through my different painting series I want to chronicle how the everyday objects around us transform and convey their own unique narratives. My
realistic acrylic paintings pay homage to the sweet disorder and chaos that surrounds us; they are an integral part of our living spaces whether indoors
or outdoors. I enjoy creating art that makes people take a second look at their everyday surroundings and transforms their perceptions of it.

Telephone poles. Telegraph Poles. Utility Poles. Hydro Poles. By whatever name, they are and have been a part of our urban landscape. Like the railway, the poles have helped define us – carrying every thing a nation needs to survive. My 'Urban Totem' series are literal portraits of our city poles as they stand now, titled with their identification number since each one is unique and personalized. Pole # 204 sits in front of a Toronto home; the pole has become embraced by a fellow tree as if recognizing and welcoming it back to its former self. This series is painted first with a forest green background. And then - just like the cedar pole has been removed from its natural surroundings - I have removed it from the 'green forest' and transplanted it to the city for its new role.

LINESCAPES SERIES: This painting, 'LineScape II, King & Bathurst', represents a chapter in my ‘Totem’ series. With ‘LineScapes’, I look, in closer detail, at the incredible network of wires above us, intersecting the skies over our cities. I focus on the graceful, dynamic patterning they create when captured as a small section of the tangled views overhead. The results are strong, graphic abstract paintings. For each canvas, I choose a lyrical interplaying section of wires to paint. For This one, 'Linescape II', I added a layer of photo transfers of text and numbers that suggest the unheard, unseen communication and energy running through the lines. As I paint over top the photo transfers, I leave areas clear around the linework, creating an aura glowing around the lines representing the power inside.
