Theatre of Paint: Patrick Duegaw
It’s likely that each viewer of Patrick Duegaw’s “The Wrong Tools (for the Job)” will come away with a different set of plot lines, which would make this an ideal show for seeing with a group and discussing after. Based on people from Duegaw’s life, the subjects of his large-scale paintings do have their own stories, but finding visual clues in the work is the audience’s pleasure.
SCENES FROM A LIFE, THEATRICALLY
A monumental undertaking that includes nearly 100 paintings, The Builder, Removed variously incorporates references to stage construction, storytelling, and theatrical characters. Viewed as a whole, the paintings speak to Duegaw’s experience of the people involved with Fisch Haus Studios, a non-profit artist cooperative in Wichita’s Commerce Street gallery district that Duegaw helped to found in 1990.
