Patrick Shoemaker's
"FIRE ON FIRE" is currently on exhibition at the Anna Zorina Gallery.
Shoemaker's works draw inspiration from mythology and lore,
rooted in American History and folk art.
While relying on contemporary vernacular, his paint handling
and use of color is unmistakably his own.
The paintings often depict people, animals and plants.
These accessible images are transformed into something intangible
and unreal by placing them in a familiar yet ambivalent context.
