ARTIST’S
STATEMENT I’m doing paper
sculpture, it’s a personal technique, done out of recycled paper,
with a special anti-fungus with no gimmicks at all, and so they last
the same time as oil paintings. (500 years, hope more). The idea with
this kind of sculpture is to create a third dimensional art, oriented
to an ecological way with a strong concern of a willingness to avoid
pollution. The final product is a piece of art full of rich texture
and having the impression as it could be wood or leather, with a warm
touch feeling and very light to move.”

REVIEW
“The revitalization
of the figurative tendency which starts in 1980, allows Patricia Waisburd
to tackle her problem. What distinguishes her is an objective need
for formal perfection and spatial balance, which shows up in her recent
works as well as in her earlier stages (1968), when she began to paint
while still very young. Hallucinating volumes
of light which are delicately extend themselves over bodies, tapestry
and objects, are present in her alehouses intimate scenes as in her
landscape in a summary of distinguished memories - both daily and
cultural - determined in a purely plastic fashion of geometric solids
which alternate with bright shades and tints. It is not too much
to say that this artist has been able to bring back – to the commotion
that exists in the arts nowadays – the elegance of sign and color
reached through wise additions of binding and veletuna and of no less
importance is her great capacity to sketch. In her most characteristic
work, this original artist succeeds in making things appear as if
they were suspended between the truth of life and the hidden meaning
of dreams; the poetic angle from which she contemplates the scene
puts emphasis on the importance of that which is being contemplated
and increases the sensation of misery produced by interiors carried
on to a different dimension. In the feeling
of light vs. color, life vs. dream, lies the secret of Patricia Waisburd’s
very personal language the tends toward an impeccable order and the
knowledge of mathematically ideal position although it does not exclude
a world of fantasy nurtured with the cultural environment in which
she was raised. Up to now, this artist through exhausting analysis, has searched for the most adequate means to express, through free form, her rich emotional world, her humanistic art and figurative perfection which give her an outstanding place in today’s art.” |
