For Patrick Quarm, painting provides a means to interrogate the multifaceted identities of those – himself included – whose histories exist across multiple, overlapping contexts.

Based on a painting from his personal collection, Twilight shows the artist’s nephew in surreal surroundings as a day draws to a close. Hybrid time, space and personhood entwined. Circular holes cut through the upper print reveal a blue underlayer, contrasting two horizontal strips that support the portrait’s figure – hand-finished in vivid blue paint.

Twilight (Yellow) is released alongside a twin edition in blue.

Inner Visions
Quarm’s prints will be released alongside hand-finished editions by Gisela McDaniel and Khari Turner in the third instalment of curator Larry Ossei-Mensah’s series, Inner Visions.

“I'm drawn to the rigour with which Patrick addresses his subjects, and the layered depth of his collaged canvases. It’s exciting to see these layers translated into edition form.” - Larry Ossei-Mensah

Behind the scenes

Patrick Quarm2 collaborationsLike memory, Quarm’s portraits are fragmented, partial and, at times, erased. His personal history, growing up in postcolonial Ghana before migrating to the US, prompted a deep investigation of cultural hybrids and how location can simultaneously expand and dilute identity. Identifying his practice as “cultural archaeology,” he explores the intricacies of selfhood and how it relates to time and space. As such, the figures Quarm paints and the fabrics he collages symbolise the folded layers of multiple cultures – each element its own vessel of history.
