Some artists- and there are many-
dedicate the entirety of their life's work to the service of some inner muse or
necessity, virtually untouched by the fluid barage of movements, trends and isms
which mark and influence so many others. Patrick Goldsmith is just such an
artist. Throughout these works, but especially in the later paintings,
Goldsmith impresses with an emotive lyricism and able touch with color and
texture,variously evoking master abstractionists such as Mondrian, Kandinsky,
Pollack, Rothko, and Johns. The self-stated cosmic and Taoist concerns at
the core of his art (baldly announced in such titles as: "Energy as Matter",
"Yang", "Boddhisatva Relinquishing the Void", "Big-Bang!",etc.) often find
metaphoric substance in these works, which meld the visual artist's careful eye
with a poet's lyric and questing sensitivity. There is a serious yearning
for the Infinite in the best of these works: to quote the artist:" My Quest is
to express the humble awe I feel as I contemplate the universe. As the Big-Bang
Theory has its counterpart in Hindu mythology, I feel I may also be able to
manifest my joy in the vision I hold of the first moments of our physical
reality that was created from energy, maybe pure consciousness... The idea of
this vast potential is what drives me to paint." - NEW PAINTINGS -
