Materials + Presentation

Materials:

  • Acrylic Water-Resistant Artists Ink and Golden Fluid Acrylics 

  • Polypropylene material is synthetic and manufactured by Yupo Corporation. It has the benefits of extraordinary durability, non-absorbent surface resists tearing and buckling and remains perfectly flat.  The material is PH neutral, flawlessly smooth and recyclable. Yupo creates a compelling and unique alternative to traditional art papers that are machine-made in the USA of 100% polypropylene.

Presentation: 

Panel paintings are created by mounting the polypropylene material onto acrylic panels. These 1/4" plexi panels are mounted with a recessed frame in natural wood and a polished plexi edge giving the panel painting a finished contemporary quality.

Patter Hellstrom exhibited new intimate panel paintings at the Mina Dresden Gallery in San Francisco. The Chhatra series relates to the eight auspicious symbols seen in Tibetan Buddhism.  The project was curated by Lynnore Goldfarb as an investigation of the ideas and patterns that surface while artists create new bodies of work.  The mixed media and abstract painting exhibit featured strong narratives and concepts by five up and coming San Francisco artists.
