ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Patti’s paintings convey a simple narrative that is often filtered through her personal experiences and studies of her Sicilian ancestry. Her work delves into the interplay between line and empty space, as well as colour and form, creating a sense of disquiet and tension. She begins her creative process with gestural drawings and then employs intuitive embellishment, resulting in representational and abstract pieces. Process and materiality are central themes in much of her work. Overall, Patti Randazzo Beckett's artistic practice reflects her exploration of various elements, including feminism, her heritage, and her observations of the natural world. Through her unique approach to painting and her use of photography, she brings a distinctive perspective to her artwork.
