Art Appreciation
I'm excited to blog about an artist my wife and I both admire—Patrick Puckett. We've attended several of his shows at the Wally Workman Gallery in Austin, and we always make a point to see his latest work whenever we visit the gallery for other exhibitions.
Born in 1979 in Jackson, Mississippi, Patrick Puckett earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2002, studying under Professor James Meade. He moved to Austin in 2005, a shift that marked a turning point in his artistic journey. After a six-year break from painting, he returned to his practice with renewed focus and has painted almost daily ever since.
Puckett's art draws heavily from his Southern upbringing. His bold, expressive works often feature anonymous figures that feel both familiar and archetypal. Using thick brushstrokes and rich colors, he explores light, shadow, and emotion with a style that's been compared to Wayne Thiebaud, though his voice remains uniquely his own. Works like The Garden, The Vase, and The Butterfly exemplify his expressive approach. His "Western Civ." series and other exhibitions at Wally Workman Gallery highlight his ongoing exploration of identity and culture in the American South.
