In a rare opportunity to view the works of – arguably – Ireland’s most important contemporary artist, Jack Rutberg Fine Arts gallery is exhibiting “Patrick Graham: Looking Back to Now.” This major survey of paintings and drawings opens September 13 with an opening reception with the artist in attendance, and extends through November 30.

“Patrick Graham: Looking Back to Now” includes the artist’s most recent works, along with selected paintings and drawings spanning more than 20 years. Graham’s psychologically-charged work explores journeys into revelation and transcendence. His powerful expressionist paintings evoke the near-mystical qualities of Irish earth and water; spatial and spiritual passages.
